CINCINNATI -- Police identified the body found in a car outside a Madisonville apartment building last week as a 17-year-old, officers announced Wednesday.

Richard Mebane's death was being investigated as a homicide, police said.

Mebane's body was found in a black Dodge Magnum that had been parked for a week or longer in the 5000 block of Madison Road, near the Oakley Meadows Apartments.

 

Residents discovered the body because of the smell.
