Peter Martinez, 28, was a known gang member with at least 24 prior arrests going back to 2007, police sources said...

The man was "obviously" the victim of a homicide, police said on Tuesday.

Officials say he might have been asphyxiated, but further study is needed to determine a cause of death and how long he was in the water.

Meanwhile, his feet were set in a plastic bucket filled with concrete that weighed more than 50 pounds...

Martinez's killer didn't let the material dry fully — it was filled with air bubbles, likely explaining why the body wound up on the rocky shore near Kingsborough College on Tuesday, investigators said.

Martinez' head, including his mouth and nostrils, were covered in tape.

He was reported missing in February.
