The man found dead in his car early Friday morning has been identified as Michael John Baldwin.
The man who was found dead inside a stolen Lexus early Friday morning has been identified Sunday as Michael John Baldwin, 34. Baldwin was found Friday at approximately 7 a.m. on the 5500 block of Margaret Avenue with a gunshot wound to the head.
Authorities arrested a suspect in connection with the shooting Friday, said Officer Karen Rayner. Rayner said a perimeter was set up, which led to a suspect being arrested near the place where Baldwin's body was discovered. The Lexus had been stolen in West Los Angeles about two weeks earlier, police said.
