A HEARTBROKEN family is pleading for help after a man was reportedly found beaten to death and naked on a beach in Puerto Rico.

Christian Quezada, 36, was on vacation, but planning to come home to Texas for the funeral of his father, who had passed away earlier in the month.

His sister, Cynthia Quezada, told KTVT that she spoke to her brother just days before his body was found on an island beach about an hour from mainland Puerto Rico.

He was planning to come home the Monday after his father passed, his sister said.

"We talked to him on Friday. Saturday, we couldn't reach him," she said.

Quezada said that a tourist found her brother's body naked and beaten on the beach.

She said she flew down to Puerto Rico to identify the body and talk to the police.

After seeing pictures of the crime scene, Quezada said her family had to push the police to investigate the death as suspicious.

"This was not an accident," she said. "I saw the pictures. I saw the place.

"This was a very touristic place … I knew that I had to do something. I couldn't just be devastated and not do anything."

The family said that a homicide detective has since started looking into the case.

"We are begging the Metroplex, and our community here in Texas, and also out authorities to help us, " Quezada said.

"To find and make sure that this crime is solved."

The family told WFAA that Puerto Rican authorities have identified a person of interest and were interviewing them this week.
