Rashid went missing ​Sept. 27. He was last seen about 9 p.m. that night when he finished working a security job at a farm in the 27800 block of Lammers Road, which crosses over the canal. Rashid’s body was found Oct. 1 about two miles upstream, floating against the water flow control gates near the South Tracy Boulevard overcrossing.

Authorities have not revealed the cause of death.
