At one point, the surveillance footage shows a passerby on a bicycle riding a few feet away past the two men.

The bicyclist does not stop.

A few hours later, another passerby on foot was on his way to a local gym when he noticed two feet with socks protruding from the red carpet near a local Starbucks.

‘I saw two feet — what appeared to be feet, they had socks on them — hanging out of a trash bag,’ Israel Savage, 39, told the New York Daily News on Friday.

‘There were multiple trash bags around this package, some cardboard and a carpet. And it was all taped.

‘It was heavy, so that made me suspicious that maybe it’s not a mannequin.’

Police said that the coroner determined that the man suffered at least one gunshot wound to the upper body.
