Police on the scene would not confirm any details this early in the investigation other than there was a body discovered in the car. They said they received the call around 4:30pm this afternoon. From our vantage point, we did not see any broken glass and it is unknown if the victim was shot, or if it was a self inflicted wound. However, detectives were examining an area around a tree approximately 70 feet from the car. A Facebook user commented on our Facebook page that the boy was discovered around 3:00pm this afternoon.
In an email, Annapolis Police Detective Amy Miguez said that it waas too early in the investigation to determine if there was any connection to the two bodies found in a car this morning; although she said preliminarily that there did not appear to be any connection.
More details coming.
