Homicide detectives have released the name of a man found Sunday dead in the trunk of a car.
The victim, previously identified as a 28-year-old Hispanic man, was Henry David Flores of Leggett, a town in Mendocino County, officials said.
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.

Actually, until I hear if this Hispanic man was here legally, I’ll continue to blame Obama for weak border security and letting gang members out of prisons. He just let 50 thousand come in and scattered them all over the country. This may be one of those too.
Orrrrr do you blame God??? Didn’t he give ALL HIS CHILDREN FREE WILL ? …. Just sayin we as individuals are solely responsible for our actions…… So if it was a Japanese person who do you blame?
Shirley Vercelli untill some people realize that closing the borders has nothing to do with children of God and has everything to do with public safety then they will never get it.. I guess when ISIS kidnaps a school of Christians here and sticks every child’s head on a stake, then will they cry and understand the importance of secured borders… And hell They will still blame Bush.. !!
No joke, Obama has allowed the open borders so is this poor sole, legal? Is this a drug deal gone bad? Yes Obama and Jerry Brown are to blame for increase in crime all over California. Stop covering up his horrible legacy!
If ur gonna blame any1 blame uncle Jerry Brown and his early release program that lets thugs roam once again. I guess the perps figured golden valley had a bunch of side streets, doh…
No, the other deaths weren’t “suspicious:. 3 were domestic, 1 was drugs. Not sure about the other ones, but they have suspects in all of them except this one so I don’t think they can be classified as suspicious.

RIP!!! Very sad, but also sad to hear how people still stereotyping in 2015 !!! Race ,status has nothing to do with this need to be more educated about immigration before making any comments by the way the border has never been more secure. The only way to end ignorance is to educate ourselves !!
You people with your negative comments, sarcasm, And assumptions are TERRIBLE beings! Show some freaking respect for the horrible death of an a well cared for and known American citizen.

Very sad thanks hillary
What’s Obama got to do with a dead guy in his trunk in SCV?
It’s sarcasm. Springing from the constant blaming of figureheads for every possible ailment.
Actually, until I hear if this Hispanic man was here legally, I’ll continue to blame Obama for weak border security and letting gang members out of prisons. He just let 50 thousand come in and scattered them all over the country. This may be one of those too.
Read above!Yes, I do blame Obama for crime in California especially Hispanic murders.
Orrrrr do you blame God??? Didn’t he give ALL HIS CHILDREN FREE WILL ? …. Just sayin we as individuals are solely responsible for our actions…… So if it was a Japanese person who do you blame?
Stupid, ignorant judgemental people. Unbelievable.

Wow. lots of racist comments. and people jumping to conclusions and blaming people when they don’t know what even happened.
Some of you people, by your comments, are an embarrassment to this community I’ve lived in for the last (nearly) 25 years. GFYs. Seriously.
and i’ve been keenly aware of that… since 1969. 8-)
That’s awful.
