Police released photos Wednesday of a car wanted in connection with a shooting last year that killed a 21-year-old man in northwest Indiana.

On Nov 1., 2019, Wanya Burnside was riding in an SUV with family in the 1300 block of Noble Street when someone opened fire, striking him in the head, according to Lake County Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr.

Investigators are looking for a 2006-2013 silver-colored Chevy Impala which may have been used in the shooting, Martinez Jr. said.
