Sheriff’s deputies responded to a vehicle fire on Denni Street this morning.
A late model Honda was fully involved. The fire department extinguished the flames.
Hews Media Group-Community News has exclusively confirmed there was a badly burned body in the car.
A resident claimed he heard gunshots the night before.
Investigators are on scene, no word if it was a homicide or suicide.
One Cerritos resident told HMG-Cn, “last night during the debates, we heard the helicopters above, they said there was a bad motor vehicle accident over on the north side of the Regional Park, but they couldn’t find the driver, so I heard the helicopters overhead about 9 p.m. As I understood, a car hit a light pole north of the park, and south of the 91 freeway. then we heard a gunshot about 8:30 p.m. last night. This morning around 7 a.m., we heard the helicopter above, this car was on fire behind my house. My brother, Ken, was out there, my brother and another neighbor trying to pull the body out, but did not succeed it was too hot.”
HMG-CN will update when available.
