HUNTS POINT, Bronx (WABC) -- Police have identified the victim and are searching for a suspect after human remains were found inside two plastic bags in the Bronx Tuesday night.

It was the second time within the past week that body parts were discovered in the borough, and authorities said both involved the remains of 25-year-old Lisa Marie Velasquez, of
Melrose, the Bronx.

Officials determined that Velasquez suffered multiple blunt impact injuries of the head with skull fractures, and her death is being investigated as a homicide.

Police received a 911 call just after 7:30 p.m. after they said a child discovered a bag with a foot sticking out of it that washed ashore inside Barretto Point Park, at Barretto Street
and Viele Avenue, in the Hunts Point section.

One bag had a human leg and an arm, authorities said. The left leg included the foot, which helped investigators indicating the victim was a woman. The left arm was severed at the
shoulder.

A right arm and right leg were found in a second bag, which was sealed when police arrived but later examined by the medical examiner's office. Responding officers patted down the
bag at the park and had already deduced it likely contained more remains.

Human remains were also found in two bags on a sidewalk in Crotona Park, in the Claremont section, Friday afternoon. A head was recovered last week, leading police to release a
sketch of the then-unidentified victim's likeness.

Detectives looked at previous missing persons cases for help making the identification. They executed a search warrant at a home on Longfellow Avenue, where they believe the victim
was before she was killed. So far, there are no arrests.
