A surveillance video obtained by the New York Post appears to show two men pushing a rolled up piece of carpet in a cart.
The culprits are thought to have placed the body on the street a few hours before it was discovered, Shea told the Associated Press.
No one has been arrested in connection with the finding. The medical examiner will determine how the man died.
A pedestrian spotted a red carpet outside a branch of Starbucks on 145th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard, Harlem, Manhattan, at around 6am on Thursday, ABC 7 reported citing police. The man called 911 when he noticed what appeared to be feet or shoes poking out from the material, the Associated Press reported.
Police have not released the identity of the victim, who appeared to be in his 20s or 30s.
Dermot Shea, New York Police Department Chief of Detectives said the incident is being treated as a homicide, according to the New York Post. The authorities may have identified the man, "but it's still way too preliminary to put that out," he said.
