Phoenix Police Investigate Fiery Death as Homicide

Phoenix police have launched a homicide investigation following the discovery of a body in a burning vehicle. The victim, identified as 34-year-old Ruben Acedo, was found deceased on November 6th after officers responded to reports of a car fire near 71st Avenue and Indian School Road. The intensity of the blaze initially obscured the circumstances surrounding the death.

However, the Phoenix Police Department announced on November 25th that new information has led them to reclassify the incident as a homicide. Detectives specializing in arson and homicide have taken charge of the ongoing investigation to determine the cause and any potential foul play involved in Acedo's death.

Authorities are urging anyone with information related to this case to come forward and assist their investigation. Tips can be provided to the Phoenix Police Department or through Silent Witness, using the dedicated hotlines for anonymous reporting. The department emphasized the importance of public cooperation in solving this case.
