Oscar Andujo, 50, was found dead in the back seat of a parked car in a west Phoenix neighborhood after a neighbor called for a welfare check on a vehicle that had been standing for several days. Officers went to the 7500 block of West Crittenden Lane near 75th Avenue and discovered injuries described by investigators as consistent with homicide rather than accident or natural causes. Detectives believe his body was placed in the back seat, and the car’s apparent long presence at the curb has complicated efforts to establish a clear timeline or identify where the attack occurred.

Family members in Phoenix organized an online memorial fundraiser after the discovery, describing Andujo as a spirited father and grandfather and calling his death a senseless act of violence. The Phoenix Police Department’s homicide unit opened an investigation, but there has been no public announcement of a suspect or arrest. Any readers who knew Oscar or have information about the vehicle, the neighborhood around 75th Avenue and Indian School Road, or events in late November 2015 are urged to come forward.
