NORTH MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A body was found inside a car Tuesday in North Miami Beach.
The black Volkswagen Jetta was found parked in the grass on the side of Northeast 157th Street near Northeast 14th Avenue by residents.

"I'm just hoping its not bad," said Natalie St. Nattis, who lives near the scene. "I'm scared. I mean, I'm scared."
