The body of a missing Alta Loma man was found Saturday and another man has been arrested on suspicion of homicide in connection with the death, officials said.

Rahkeem “Rocky” Amani Reyes was found in a remote area in Azusa Canyon about 10:15 a.m. Saturday, according to the West Covina Police Department.
