Authorities ID man found buried under concrete on near west side

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The body found in a shallow grave covered with concrete on Wednesday has been identified as a 41-year-old man who was reported missing last month.

After a well-placed tip, police say detectives found Marks’ body buried beneath concrete inside a warehouse that located in the 1200 block of West 29th Street. Crews began the process of removing the body on Tuesday.

The landlord of the property told 24-Hour News 8’s Julian Grace he was in the process of evicting tenants for failure to pay rent.
