LUKEVILLE, Ariz. — The Pima County Sheriff's Department says the body of a man has been discovered near the Lukeville border crossing in southern Arizona about 150 miles west of Tucson.

The Sheriff's Department is treating the death as a homicide.

Border Patrol agents reported seeing a plastic bag on the side of a roadway Monday approximately 3.5 miles west of Lukeville and 20 feet north of the border. When they inspected the plastic bag, they discovered a man wrapped in it.

Homicide detectives indicated the victim is an older man who appeared to have been dumped off just north of the border.

An autopsy is scheduled Wednesday.
