San Jose police arrested a 50-year-old man suspected of setting fire to a vehicle and killing the occupant, according to the police department.

Martin Cabrera was arrested Sunday at a homeless encampment in San Jose after a man's body was found in a vehicle fire in the area of Pomona Avenue and Barnard Avenue, police said. He was booked into Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of homicide.
