Jan 4, 2011 | 5:45 AM

The person found dead in a Saskatoon back alley on New Year's Day was just 16 years old.

Late Monday evening, police issued a news release saying Bryton Stevenson was found in the alley off Avenue K near 23rd Street.

His family came forward and identified him after police put out a news release featuring a photo of his hoodie.

An autopsy will be performed on Stevenson on Tuesday morning. Police hope that will give them more pieces to the puzzle.
