Detectives and coroner's officials uncovered the body after initially going to a nearby business. There, detectives "were able to locate a person of interest, and further information led them to the heating and air conditioning business in the 9400 block of John Street," said department spokesman Brad White.

The concrete was broken up and excavated, and the body of a male adult victim recovered. White said detectives are in the process of identifying the victim.

Detectives said preliminary investigation indicated that a crime had resulted from a "feud" between the victim and Galviz.
