The discovery of a corpse in a car in the San Diego neighborhood on Monday became the 17th such case this year where murder victims are abandoned on public roads wrapped in blankets or sacks with signs of gagging.
The police report stated that “the deceased was shot five times in the back, was tied with a yellow rope around his neck, and was lying in underwear, wrapped in blankets.”
