Victim identified in burning vehicle

TAMPA -- While fighting the flames that ravaged the four-door, black 1996 Cadillac sedan early Monday, Tampa Fire Rescue crews discovered the body of 43-year-old Tracey Alan Jones inside the burning vehicle.

Police said Jones had been “highly intoxicated” Sunday evening and passed out in the car, which was parked in front of a home at 1018 E Jean Street, when a fire ignited in the engine compartment.

Investigators have ruled out foul play.
