Police searched an apartment complex in Hollywood and questioned a person of interest Thursday as part of a murder investigation after a man’s head, hands and feet were found earlier in the week.

Los Angeles police officers wore raid jackets into the three-story Hollywood Heritage Apartment building in the 6200 block of Delongpre Avenue, which is just a couple miles from where the body parts were found in Bronson Park. Officers collected a box of evidence and towed a vehicle from the complex.

Police made no arrests following the search.

Officials from the coroner’s office have identified the victim, but his name was being withheld until his family was notified. The victim is believed to be a man, possibly of Armenian descent, between 40 to 60 years of age, police said.

Two women walking their dogs near the Hollywood sign reported finding the head in a plastic bag near a popular hiking trail on Tuesday. The women said the dogs were playing with the bag when the head rolled out. Using cadaver dogs, investigators searched a 7-acre area for two days and found two hands and  two feet.
