Bodies of Man, Child Found in Truck South of Miami

Posted

MIAMI (AP) - An investigation is underway after the bodies of a man and a child were found in a gray Toyota Tundra in southern Miami-Dade County.

Miami-Dade police say someone saw the truck and alerted a Florida City police officer early Wednesday. The officer found the bodies.

Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta told local media the truck matches the description of one connected to an Amber Alert issued early Wednesday and cancelled a few hours later. But he wouldn't confirm whether there is a tie between the bodies and 6-year-old Yoan Cantos and his 46-year-old father Juan Cantos Padron of Hialeah.

The truck has been towed to the medical examiner's office with the bodies still inside.

Police in Hialeah are also investigating after a woman was found dead in an apartment.
