IXTL?N DE LOS HERVORES, Michoac?n, Mexico (CBS) ? The badly burned body of a high school student from Rolling Meadows was found inside a charred vehicle in Mexico over the weekend, along with the bodies of two other murder victims.

Alexis Uriel Marr?n, 18, and two other men were found in the trunk of a burned out car around 7 a.m. on Christmas Eve, on a roadside in the town of Ixtl?n de los Hervores, in the Mexican province of Michoac?n about 80 miles southeast of Guadalajara, CNN reported for CBS 2.

Marr?n had been visiting his grandmother in the small town of Quiring?icharo, CNN reported.

Police tell the Daily Herald that the car belonged to another victim, Juan Pedro Estrada Osegeda, 24, who was driving Alexis so he could see his girlfriend. The third victim is identified as Raul T?llez V?zquez, 21.

The car, a black 1997 Mercury, belonged to Osegeda, CNN reported.

The men were not believed to be involved in any sort of criminal activity, police told the Daily Herald.

Chicago Mexican Consulate deputy-in-charge Augustin Rodriguez said says the consulate was aware of the murder but had no statement Tuesday afternoon.

The consulate is standing by to respond to any petitions from the family for assistance, but so far has not received any requests.

Meanwhile, two Facebook pages have been set up in Marr?n?s memory. One urges friends and classmates to wear red on Tuesday, Jan. 3, in his honor.

The Daily Herald reported Marr?n was recognized as a high school achiever in the 2010 National Spanish Examinations.
