Reporters from The Cavalier Daily observed police moving what appeared to be a body bag into a vehicle around 1:00 p.m.
Police blocked off an area adjacent to the Culbreth Road Parking Garage and officials at the scene declined to comment.
Ben Rexrode, the UPD’s community service and crime prevention coordinator, did not respond to a voicemail and email seeking comment by time of publication.
