Police ID man whose burning body was found in a Tucson alley

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Police have identified a man whose burning body was found on Tucson’s south side.

Tucson police say the body was that of 25-year-old Omar Fox.

No other information about Fox was immediately released Sunday.

A neighborhood resident called police after spotting the body in an alley Saturday morning.

Officers responded and the first one on the scene confirmed it was a body and used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames.

Police say the cause of Fox’s death likely won’t be known until an autopsy is conducted.
