WASHINGTON, D.C. - D.C. police have made an arrest in the slaying of a man whose body was found inside a cardboard box on the side of Interstate 70 in Maryland.Police say 34-year-old Marvin Palencia was arrested without incident Saturday afternoon in Hyattsville, where he lives. He's been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 36-year-old Jacobo Vazquez of Washington.
Vazquez's body was found Tuesday morning in a box alongside westbound I-70 near Frederick.
D.C. police say Vazquez was shot to death on Constitution Avenue near the U.S. Capitol on Nov. 12. The case was initially investigated as a suspicious disappearance. Police
did not release any details about a motive for the slaying.
Another example of stupid criminals. Instead of putting the body in a box and leaving it beside the road he should have taken the box to the Post Office and mailed it parcel post. That way it never would have been found and he wouldn't have been arrested.
