Escondido police officers found a body after responding to a report of a vehicle fire at a storage facility parking lot on Sunday morning.
Around 9:58 a.m., first responders arrived at 325 Brotherton Rd., where a Public Storage facility is located, and found a body inside a burning sedan-type vehicle, Escondido Police Department Lt. Janice Keuhn told NBC 7.
"I work in the plaza and I was coming to work and when we pulled up we saw that this whole street here was blocked off and there were about 4 or 5 fire trucks and a fire Marshall and a lot of activity," said Megan Drummond a neighbor. "It’s unnerving – very unnerving."
Police could not confirm a cause of death, nor a description of the subject. Investigators are still at the scene.
