Police found a black bag containing a body that showed \u201csigns of violence\u201d in the back of a gray Toyota SUV with California plates. <\/p>\n

The car was parked for days in a supermarket parking lot across from Caliente Stadium, where the Iranian team is preparing for several World Cup games in the United States.<\/p>\n

Residents had complained about a pungent smell emanating from the car, which is believed to have been there since Wednesday. No details about the person found have been released.<\/p>\n

A patrol unit discovered the body, the Tijuana prosecutor\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n
