A body in a bush, a bullet to the head, and no weapon in sight.
Although authorities almost immediately thought the death of a man in Langhorne Borough on Friday morning was suspicious, it took an autopsy on Saturday morning to confirm his death was a homicide.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office confirmed Saturday afternoon that Jamar Tucker, 36, of Trenton, was the man found dead by a person walking their dogs in the 300 block of Bellevue Avenue between Richardson and Gilliam avenues shortly before 8:30 a.m. Friday.
Tucker died of a gunshot wound to the head. Detectives on Friday marked close to two dozen drips of blood on Bellevue Avenue near where the 36 year old’s body was discovered.
Detectives announced Saturday afternoon that they are seeking Tucker’s black 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee with New Jersey plate T69HDG. The vehicle has not been seen since the man’s death.

Langhorne Chief of Police John Godzieba said Friday that it was unclear if the man was killed in the borough or dumped at the scene, which sits about a half-mile from busy Route 1.
The homicide rocked the tiny borough that saw it’s last murder in 2015.
