Juan Alberto Galviz, 35, has been arrested in the murder and entombment of an unidentified male victim in the Los Angeles area.

Whittier, California police were acting on a tip of a possible killing when they located the body of the male in recently poured concrete inside a local heating and air conditioning business.  The body was found on Sunday and police are reporting today that they believe Galviz and the victim had some sort of ongoing “feud” that lead to the killing.

Authorities had to bust up the concrete block to locate the body and hope to provide identification and cause of death when the coroner examines the remains.
