Police in Harford County on Tuesday identified the body found Saturday in a motel room outside Aberdeen as 26-year-old Robert Donte Hemphill.

Hemphill was found dead in a room at the Keyser Motel on Route 40. Police spent the several days trying to find his relatives. His family was located Tuesday evening in Baltimore, said sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Christina Presberry.

Police were called to Hemphill's room Saturday by another occupant of the hotel who reported a burglary. Deputies arrived at 11:36 p.m. to find the door to Hemphill's room ajar and Hemphill lying on the floor, dead, with trauma to his upper body.

The investigation is ongoing, and no suspects have been identified.
