A citizen reported seeing the unresponsive man inside the vehicle to St. Louis County police. A driver's side window had been shot out.

There was no information about the identity of the man inside the vehicle. Police said they are investigating and treating the death as suspicious.

The man was found just hours after riots broke out in Ferguson in reaction to news that a grand jury chose not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, the man who shot Brown on Aug. 9.
