The victim was located near a chain-link fence in a wooded area 50 feet off the shoulder of the eastbound lanes of the Northern State Parkway, east of Wolf Hill Road, in the Town of Huntington, Suffolk County, New York.
A contracted inspector from the state Department of Transportation who was overseeing a grading operation about a half-mile east of the exit found him. Contract employees last worked along that stretch of road when lighting fixtures were installed in December.
The man was shot three to five times in the head and torso with a large caliber pistol, and his body was stuffed into a black garbage bag.
