Officials have arrested a suspect they believe left a man dead inside a burned-out car in San Diego's East County.
Miles B. Sharp was arrested and now faces a murder charge in the death of Dillon Davis, 20, of 4S Ranch, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
Davis was found dead inside the trunk of the car along Skyline Truck Trail east of Jamul around 4:30 a.m. September 20 last year.
The driver of a passing vehicle called 911 after seeing a car on fire. As they were fighting the flames, firefighters discovered a man's body in the trunk of the four-door sedan parked in front of a home.
The victim was so badly burned that investigators couldn't even determine a gender at first. Homicide investigators believed Davis was the victim of foul play.
Sharp was booked into the San Diego Central Jail on murder and arson charges. The investigation is continuing.
