Vincent Good, 53, was identified as the man whose remains were found in a suitcase and trash bags in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood on May 22.
Multiple gunshot wounds caused Good's death, the Medical Examiner's Office said, leading authorities to rule the case a homicide.
A person searching for scrap metal discovered a human upper torso around 9:25 a.m. on the 600 block of East Hilton Street; police then found additional remains nearby.
No arrests have been made, police have released no suspect information, and investigators are asking anyone with tips to contact the Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit.
