Police are investigating after a body was found inside a stolen U-Haul truck in the Mid-City neighborhood.
A foul odor emanating from a moving van parked in a Mid-City neighborhood Thursday led authorities to a dead body in the back of a U-Haul truck, police said. The body was tightly wrapped in a tarp and investigators discovered the male victim was shot in the head, the LAPD announced in a news release Friday. He was identified as 50-year-old Henry Jernigan. Los Angeles Police were called to the 2400 block of South Redondo Boulevard just before 11 a.m., said Officer Charles Miller.
Residents contacted U-Haul to report the truck abandoned near the intersection of Redondo Boulevard and Apple Street. When an employee with U-Haul went to retrieve the truck, they found what appeared to be a body wrapped in a tarp at the back of the truck, the LAPD said in the news release. The employee reported a foul odor coming from the truck when they contacted police. When officers arrived, they discovered that the truck had been reported stolen, Miller said.
