According to SFGate, police have detained a man previously identified as a "person of interest" in connection with a suitcase stuffed with dismembered body parts found in San Francisco.

Earlier this week, SFPD discovered human limbs and the torso of a "light-skinned male" inside a rolling suitcase in the city's SoMa district. Searching the area, officers found several more body parts.

On Friday, authorities released photos of a "person of interest" spotted by security cameras near where the suitcase was found. Reuters reports that an anonymous tip led police to the man sought for questioning just hours later.

"Homicide will be working together with all the investigators and all the evidence that we have to find out whether or not this person of interest is, in fact, the same person responsible for the crime," said an SFPD spokesperson.
