Man with "obvious trauma" found dead behind building at Shoppers World in Framingham
FRAMINGHAM - A man was found dead behind a business at Shoppers World in Framingham late Saturday night.
Man found with trauma to his body
The Middlesex District Attorney's office said the man was found in a trash area behind World Market at around 10 p.m. Saturday. Police said he had obvious trauma to his body. An autopsy will be done to determine his exact cause of death.
"Pretty shocking, really," said Moses Davis, who works at a nearby shopping plaza. "It's a pretty safe area, even late at night. You don't really have to worry about someone robbing you or attacking you. All we can do is trust that the police know they can do their job, catch the person quickly and that no one else gets hurt."
The DA said the man's death is being investigated as a homicide. The victim's name hasn't been released but the Middlesex DA said he was a 30-year-old man from Framingham who worked at one of the businesses at the shopping center.
"Whoever did it could still be here"
"It's really calm, there isn't that much commotion," said Framingham resident Paula Castro. "Nothing usually happens here, so I think it's odd that that happened. I think I'm concerned because the person whoever did it could still be here."
WBZ TV reached out to Shoppers World for a statement but did not immediately hear back.
"They could be in the parking lot today, you never know, that's why you always have to pay attention to what's going on," said shopper Joe Lima. "You've got to always be aware of your surroundings. Never let your guard down."
The Middlesex DA is asking anyone with any information to call police.
