Regarding this vehicle, police said in a statement: "The vehicle is suspected as being used as a conveyance in recent homicides of 4 Muslim men. Everyone believes that that vehicle is very key to what happened in at least two of the shootings." Syed is currently accused of killing Aftab Hussein and Muhammad Afzaal Hussain as the bullet casings were associated with a gun discovered at his home, according to investigators who said: "We have shell casings that we're able to tie together through the national database. So that is giving us some confidence. But we may have a long way to go." Although charges have not yet been brought issued regarding the deaths of Naeem Hussain and Mohammad Ahmadi, investigators believe Syed to be the main suspect. For any information resulting in an arrest or arrests for the killings, a $20,000 reward is being offered.
