A man's body was found inside a car in the Town of Grafton Saturday morning.

The Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office reported the death appears suspicious. The man was discovered around 9:30 a.m. in a white 4-door Chevy Malibu with Michigan registration. The car was in the east ditch on County Highway C south of Tallgrass Drive.

The victim has been identified as 49-year-old Laeng Sanavongsay of Texas.

Authorities believe the car was parked in that same location since Friday night and there is no threat to the public. An update from the Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office said the incident was likely targeted, and an isolated incident.
