The 20-year-old man found dead amid nearby rioting in Ferguson, Mo. had a bullet in his head and accelerant poured on his body in an apparent attempt to light him on fire, police have revealed.

The new details into Deandre Joshua's mysterious death, being investigated as a homicide, follow his body's discovery Tuesday morning outside an apartment complex near where Michael Brown was shot and killed in August.

Joshua was found seated behind the wheel of his white Pontiac Grand Prix at 9 a.m. — likely several hours after he was killed, said St. Louis County police.

A nearby resident, previously speaking to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, has claimed that hours before the young man's body was found they overheard four people armed with guns talking about looting and killing someone Monday night....he called the police after hearing the men's sinister plans but officers never showed up.
