Police said in a news release that Farabee and Montalvo were in a relationship and that forensic evidence and statements connect him to her death, but they declined to give details on the nature of the evidence.

Lafayette Police spokeswoman Cpl. Bridgette Dugas said investigators are now focused on finding a green, two-door 2002 Honda Accord with Tennessee license plate "505JGQ."

She said both Montalvo and Farabee are believed to have used the vehicle.

Montalvo has no known connection to the homeowner who shot Farabee, and police still don't know why Farabee was in the man's yard, Dugas said.

"They are complete strangers," she said.
