Homicide detectives on Friday were probing the death of a person whose body was found in a vehicle towed a week ago from central Las Vegas, according to Metro Police.
North Las Vegas Police discovered the remains about 10 a.m. Friday in a tow yard in the 2500 block of Kiel Way, near Carey Avenue and North Fifth Street, Metro said in a news release.
A resident had the vehicle towed on July 23 from an alley in the 400 block of North Fourth Street, near downtown Las Vegas, about 3 miles from the tow yard, police said.
Metro, which is investigating the death, said investigators suspect foul play but haven't identified a motive or a possible suspect.
The victim will be identified by the Clark County Coroner's Office, which will determine a cause of death.
