Rochester, New York — Tuesday a man was found dead in a vehicle on the city’s west side.
According to authorities, the death has been ruled suspicious and is being investigated as a homicide.
The investigation is centered around a vehicle near the corner of Brown and Silver Streets.
The victim, described as a man in his 30s or 40s, was found dead in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, according to RPD Capt. Frank Umbrino. Officers responded after a passerby contacted police.
“He does appear to be the victim of a murder,” Umbrino said. “The victim was found in the vehicle, and we don’t know much beyond that at this point. Once the medical examiner gets here, hopefully, we’ll know a little bit more and that can point us in the right direction.”
Shortly before 12 p.m., officers responded at the scene.
Rochester is on pace for its deadliest year in history, this incident marks the 66th homicide so far this year in the city.
