Body found in burning vehicle at apartment complex

A body was found inside a burning car at an Orlando apartment complex Tuesday morning.

The fire broke out behind a storage shed in the back of the Crossroads Apartments complex. After the Orlando Fire Department put out the flames, it was determined that the cause of the fire came from a parked car hidden from view. Inside the car was a body, which police located at approximately 11:50 p.m.

The Orlando Police Department reported on Wednesday that the body found in the burned vehicle was 64-year-old Benny Lee Green. 

Police believe that this a murder and need the public's help. 

Green's vehicle was a 2002 green Mercedez-Benz ML.

The building next to the fire was completely boarded up because there was a fire there last November and it was deemed uninhabitable. No one has lived in the back of this apartment complex since then.
