A Burbank man was arrested on suspicion of killing his 76-year-old mother, whose body was found in an alley wrapped in a blanket, police said Monday night.
Officers responded Monday morning to call of a possible woman down in the alley near the 4000 block of Victory Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, Sgt. Darin Ryburn said.
He said the slaying was Burbank's first homicide of 2014. The cause of death is pending an autopsy by the coroner's office.
