Authorities say the body of an aspiring hip hop artist was found inside the trunk of a Virginia man’s car after the man crashed on a Miami highway.
According to CBS Miami, Robert, 25, was arrested and charged with second degree murder and illegal transportation of human remains in the death of Brian, also 25.
On Sunday, Florida Highway Patrol responded to a crash on the Palmetto Expressway and found Robert in his silver Acura. Police say they grew suspicious after the car was towed to a parking lot at Hialeah’s Westland Mall, where he was asked to remove his belongings, which included a gun case.
The police report states that officers also noticed flies and a foul odor coming from the rear of the car. When police opened the trunk, the report says they found Brian’s body wrapped in fabric and in an advanced stage of decomposition.
An autopsy reportedly found that Brian had been shot multiple times.
According to the report, Robert apologized during a recorded call at the Homicide Bureau and told his sister the shooting took place on October 17 in Virginia. Brian was last seen that day leaving his home in Triangle, Virginia, with Robert.
The charges are allegations, and the case was still developing at the time of this report.
