(KNSI) – Police in Minneapolis are investigating after a passerby called 911 to report that they had found a human leg wrapped in plastic in northeast Minneapolis Thursday morning.

Minneapolis Police Department spokesman John Elder says authorities found the discarded body parts outside in the 300 block of Main Street Northeast around 9:20 a.m. The crime lab and the medical examiner are working to identify the victim, which Elder described as a Caucasian adult.

“The body parts that were found would lead us to believe that the injuries caused by the removal would not be life-sustaining,” Elder said during a press conference. “These would be life-ending injuries.”

The discovery is being investigated as a homicide.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact CrimeStoppers at 800-222-8477.
