A 41-year-old man is facing second-degree murder and concealment of a body charges after a woman’s body was found in the dumpster at a Phoenix apartment complex over the weekend, authorities said.

The Phoenix Police Department identified the man taken into custody as Nathaniel Brown Jr.

On Saturday, Glendale Police were called to the area of 59th Avenue and Bethany Home Road around 7:15 a.m. for a man making statements about getting rid of the body of a woman.
