The victim was named Jose David Flores, 28, of Leggett, according to Homicide officials.
Flores was found in the trunk of his own car, a blue Honda Accord, on Sunday morning.
Officials with the Coroner’s Office would not release any additional details pending a medical examination.
No arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any information about any possible suspects.
The suspected murder is part of the seventh suspicious death investigation in the Santa Clarita Valley area since January.
The body was found by Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies, after a deputy conducting a routine patrol check noticed a blue Honda Accord parked illegally on Golden Valley Road, near Golden Valley High School.
The deputy noticed the car around 9:30 a.m., and the deputy was inspecting the car before it was slated to be towed, when the body was discovered in the trunk.
The immediate cause of death “was not obvious,” according to Jauch, who said he could not release more information at this time, pending a medical examiner’s investigation.
