RENTON — Police say detectives are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in a car in Renton Sunday as a homicide.

KOMO-TV reported officers responded to South Tobin Street Sunday morning after receiving reports that a body had been seen in a car parked in front of a church.

Sgt. Christine Matthews, of the Renton police, said a 29-year-old Renton man was found deceased with a bullet wound to the back.

Matthews says marijuana was found in the car with the man’s body, and the death is being investigated as the outcome of a “drug deal gone bad.”

No suspects have yet been identified and no arrests have been made.
