Police have identified a man who was found wrapped in bed sheets inside a stolen car in North Philadelphia earlier this week, and ruled his death a homicide.

Police said 27-year-old Malik Tribble was found inside a stolen car on the 2000 block of North Bambrey Street after 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Chief Inspector Scott Small said someone smelled an odor coming from a Dodge Charger and reported it to police.

Police arrived and firefighters forced open the car's trunk. That's when they found the body wrapped in bed sheets inside, Small said.

On Thursday, police said the city's medical examiner determined that Tribble was shot multiple times and killed.

Small said that the Dodge Charger was reported stolen last week in the Southwest Police Division. The vehicle was taken to a police impound lot.

No arrests have been made and no motive is known, police said.

The incident remains under investigation by the police department's homicide division.
