Five people, ages 16 to 21, have been arrested in the death of Zyszkiewicz, who was found inside his vehicle in the area of N. 23rd and W. Cherry streets Wednesday after police had been called to check on the welfare of a person slumped over the steering wheel. He was there to conduct a routine inspection of the exterior of a building with code violations that had not been corrected, city officials said.
