CALABASAS, CA – Human remains were found Wednesday on state park land in Calabasas. Caltran workers discovered the skeletal remains about 9:30 a.m. along a hiking trail in the 25100 block of Calabasas Road, according to the sheriff's department.

It was not known if the remains were those of a male or female, according to the sheriff's department, which had reported preliminarily that the remains were those of a man.

Information was not immediately available on the cause of death, or whether foul play was involved.

The area where the remains were found is several miles from the site in Malibu Creek State Park where 35-year-old Tristan Beaudette, a father of two from Irvine, was shot to death on June 22, a crime that remains unsolved.

After Beaudette's death, sheriff's officials said they investigated six other reports of shootings or calls about possible gunfire occurring near the park going back to November 2016.

Since Beaudette's death, sheriff's deputies have responded to at least nine reports of gunfire in the area.
