BODY FOUND IN CAR

The body of a 27-year-old Norfolk man was found in a parked vehicle, its engine still idling, early Saturday.

Police said Alfonzo Lamont Pablo, whose last known address was in the 4400 block of South Cape Henry Road, was murdered. But they declined to detail the nature of his wounds for investigative reasons.

About 1:55 a.m., police received a call that a suspicious car was parked just off the road in the 3700 block of Sentara Way, near the entrance to the Sentara Village and Nursing Center.

When officers arrived, they found Pablo in the driver's seat of a gray Jeep Wagoneer. He was slumped sideways toward the center of the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The engine of the Wagoneer was still running and the driver's side window was rolled down about three-quarters of the way. The vehicle was backed into a curb cut - an entrance to a possible future road or driveway - and there was room beside it for another vehicle.

Given those circumstances, and the fact that it was too cold a night for anyone to normally leave a vehicle window rolled down, investigators were considering the possibility that Pablo had met someone in another vehicle at the scene.

The body was sent to the State Medical Examiner's office in Norfolk for an examination.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 427-0000.
