In addition to looking for the previously known SUV which was rented by New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, deputies are also searching for another car rented by Hernandez – this time a 2013 Chrysler 300.

Per Sports Illustrated:

"Police are investigating the death of a male, whose body was found on Monday at an industrial park less than a mile from Hernandez’s house. A vehicle rented in Hernandez’s name has emerged as a key piece of evidence, and police are trying to locate another vehicle — a 2013 Chrysler 300 — that was also rented under Hernandez’s name."

Why police are looking for this car is unknown.

SI is also reporting conflicting information as to what we’ve heard earlier, as reports hinted this morning that Hernandez was potentially a suspect in the homicide. However, according to Greg Bedard and Pete Thamel that doesn’t appear to be the case – at least not yet:

"Hernandez was questioned by police on Monday, a source told SI. His house was searched for more than two and a half hours Tuesday evening by a dozen state police investigators. Hernandez is not believed to be a murder suspect."
