GREENWOOD HEIGHTS, N.Y. (WPIX) - A driver -- pulling out of a parking spot -- found the body of a dead teenager wrapped in plastic underneath his vehicle, police said.
The incident occurred in the Greenwood Heights section of Brooklyn early Thursday.
Ashraf Ali, 27, told police he felt something under his car when he attempted to pull out of a parking spot on 27th Street. Ali said he at first thought it was a prank when a friend told him there was a leg sticking out from the car. However, he told authorities when he looked down he discovered a human hand.
Emergency officials pronounced 19-year-old Daniel Vargas dead at the scene. The Medical Examiners office said Vargas was strangled and suffered multiple skull fractures.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

"What can you say? It's a shame,” said a neighbor. “I've never known Danny to be in any type of trouble. So I'm really not sure of the circumstances.
