Human remains found in a Hayward warehouse last summer were confirmed as those of a San Francisco man who disappeared eight months ago, police said Wednesday.

San Francisco investigators said Piseth Chhay, 46, who drove for the online taxi service Uber and whose disappearance in May prompted an exhaustive search by friends and family, was the victim of a homicide.

Police have identified family friend Bob Tang as the suspect. Tang was considered a “person of interest” shortly after Chhay went missing. Before Tang was scheduled to be interviewed by investigators, he left the country, police said.

Investigators believe that Tang is in his native Cambodia and said Wednesday that they’re working with “law enforcement partners to locate and arrest Tang.”

Chhay was last seen May 14 and investigators believe Tang may have been the last person with him. Tang was described as 5-foot-4, weighing 130 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.

Police are asking that anyone with information about the case to call (415) 575-4444 or text TIP411.
