New York police are investigation the murder of 19-year-old Daniel Vargas, whose body was found underneath a car in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn.

According to reports, the teenager’s body was found around 12:40 a.m. Christmas Eve by Ashraf Ali, who heard a dragging sound coming from underneath his car.
