Police are investigating after human remains were found inside a suitcase Tuesday on Long Island.
Officers responded to a 911 call Tuesday morning reporting "suspicious activity" in a wooded area near an apartment building in Huntington Station, New York, according to the Suffolk County Police Department.
"Upon arriving, police found a person deceased in a suitcase next to the building," police said in a press release.
On Thursday, police said the victim had been identified as Seikeya Jones, 31.
Jones, who police said was homeless, had been reported missing on Aug. 16.
Her cause of death is not yet known, and police said the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office would conduct an autopsy.
Police are requesting anyone with information concerning the incident to contact them.
A resident at the apartment complex told New York ABC station WABC she had heard the sounds of a woman screaming at about 3 a.m. on Sunday.
Another person living in the area said she saw police respond to the incident.
"The police came and lifted it and saw it was a body," the individual said. "The smell was rancid. Potent."
