A Delray Beach man who was reported missing since Sept. 16 was found deceased in his vehicle in the parking lot of a shopping center Sunday afternoon.
Christopher Hendrix, 24, had last been seen on surveillance footage at Global Mart, a convenience store located at 2200 Seacrest Boulevard in Delray Beach, just before he went missing. He was driving a silver 2007 Lexus GS300, but did not return home after several days, prompting his family to call police. Police then issued a public statement asking for additional information on his whereabouts.
During a phone call with his mother shortly before his disappearance, Hendrix “mentioned he was feeling light-headed, and shortly after, his phone was turned off and he could no longer be reached,” police said in a statement.
On Sunday afternoon, Hendrix was found deceased in his vehicle in a shopping center parking lot at 4953 W. Atlantic Avenue, located near the intersection of Military Trail.
