Sheriff deputies in Florida have located a truck wanted in connection with a Gardendale murder from April. According to Gardendale Police, the truck's owner Hedilberto "Eddie"Rodriguez is suspected of killing his former girlfriend Rufina Gutierrez.

A Gardendale police officer has been sent south of Tampa to Manatee County, Florida to recover the truck and any evidence it may contain.   "We're working with some other agencies and we work the leads and we're confident. We know who he is and we're confident that at some point, hopefully in the very near future, we'll have him in custody," said Sgt. Chuck Denham.

Gutierrez was gunned down the morning of Sunday April, 13th in the parking lot of a Gardendale restaurant where she was a manager.
