Summary of A Cop Realizes There’s A Body In Trunk

On July 29, 2020, a Louisiana police officer initiated a routine traffic stop after pulling over a vehicle driven by a young man named Mitchell, who was speeding and lacked a driver's license. The situation escalated when the officer discovered multiple bullet holes in the car, raising suspicions about Mitchell's involvement in something more serious than a mere traffic violation.

During the interaction, Mitchell provided conflicting information about his residence and the ownership of the vehicle, which was registered to someone else. A random man appeared at the scene, claiming to be searching for a missing person, further complicating the situation. It was revealed that the missing person was Michael Robinson, who was allegedly connected to Mitchell.

As the investigation progressed, the officer received information about the missing person's report and decided to search the vehicle again. Upon opening the trunk, the officer discovered the body of Michael Robinson. It was determined that Robinson was a victim of an armed robbery in which Mitchell was involved. Mitchell had shot Robinson multiple times before attempting to dispose of the body.

Mitchell was subsequently charged with armed robbery and second-degree murder, facing a likely life sentence. The case highlights the dramatic turn of events from a simple traffic stop to a homicide investigation.
