The sheriff’s office is investigating after a person’s body was found inside a burning pickup truck in southern Harris County early Thursday.
The Houston Fire Department responded around 4 a.m. to the burning truck on Fellows Road near the South Belt and State Highway 288. The body was found in the back seat after the fire was out.
The Medical Examiner’s office is working to identify the person. The body was too badly burned to tell if it was a man or a woman. Deputies are investigating the case as a homicide.
