Albuquerque –
According to APD, around 2PM, officers in the Valley Area Command were dispatched to Fifth Street and Iron SW in reference to a vehicle which had been parked on the side of the road for the past five days.
It is unclear if neighbors reported the vehicle as a nusiance in the area. The car was within eyesight of Coronado Elementary School.
When officers arrived on scene to figure out why the car was abandonded, they discovered a deceased individual inside the vehicle.
For precautionary measures, the homicide unit will be investigating this incident until an actual cause of death can be determined by the Office of Medical Investigators.
While on scene we noticed APD investigators processing a Hyundai sedan on the southside of the street. The car appeared to have been horribly painted over at some point.
We will update the story when an official cause of death is determined.
