Tampa police investigate 'possible homicide' after body was found in vehicle
TAMPA, Fla. - Officers with the Tampa Police Department said they are investigating a possible homicide after a body was found in a vehicle on North Elmore Avenue and East Adalee Street.
Tampa police responded to the area around 8:25 a.m. Tuesday about concerns of a parked vehicle surrounded by flies, TPD said. Officer confirmed they found a man dead inside the vehicle.
Officers said there didn't appear to be any foul play, but once the medical examiner's officer took custody of the body, a possible gunshot wound was found in the man's neck. This couldn't be determined on scene because of how decomposed the body was, according to TPD.
