Police have booked a 28-year-old Anaheim man on suspicion of murder after a woman's body was found inside his pickup at a crash in downtown San Marcos, Anaheim police reported Sunday.
Abdulaziz Munther Alubidy was involved in a crash just after 4 p.m. Friday at the intersection of San Marcos Boulevard and Rancho Santa Fe Road in San Marcos, said Anaheim police Sgt. Shane Carringer.
