Authorities are searching for a man they believe to be a person of interest in a homicide that happened in Laguna Niguel earlier in October. 

It was not immediately clear at which time or where the incident occurred on Oct. 15, but Orange County Sheriff's Department on Wednesday released a photo of the suspect on Twitter in hopes of locating him. 

He has been identified as 38-year-old David Moreno, who sometimes goes by the name Temper. 

He is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs around 200 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. 

Residents were urged not to approach Moreno as he could be dangerous. 

Authorities believe that he is somehow connected to the death of Griselda Petra Pineda-Reta, the 36-year-old woman found dead inside of a hotel in the 2800 block of Camino Capistrano on Oct. 15.

Anyone who knows of his whereabouts is asked to immediately call 911.
