A nationwide social media campaign by the FBI began Saturday morning as law enforcement attempts to secure clues in the recent homicide death of an unidentified boy outside of Las Vegas.

“The #FBI and @LVMPD are seeking information about the death of John “Little Zion” Doe, whose body was discovered in Mountain Springs, Nevada, on May 28. Visit http://tips.fbi.gov to submit a tip,” a Saturday morning Twitter post stated.

Twitter and Facebook posts were planned, according to the FBI.

On Thursday, the FBI offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the identity of the young boy found dead early May 28 in Mountain Springs.

Officials announced the reward during a joint news conference with the FBI and the Metropolitan Police Department.
