Early Sunday morning, three bodies — burnt beyond recognition — were found inside of a smoldering vehicle on Detroit’s west side.
Jacqueline Pritchett, a deputy at the Detroit Police Department, said in a video press release that the Detroit Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire near 30th Street and Milford Avenue around 5:50 am. Pritchett said the DPD Homicide Task Force is investigating the deaths further.

The police department is seeking assistance from the public as they investigate the fire. Around 8 a.m. Sunday morning, Pritchett was unsure about the circumstances leading up to the fire, and could not specify the make and model of the vehicle.
DPD asks that anyone with information contact them at their tipline, 1-800-SPEAKUP, or submit information via their website, DetroitRewards.tv.
