POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. -- State Police are looking for a car that may be connected with a murder last week in Mason County.

Troopers from the Mason detachment have taken over the investigation into the killing of Rene Gonzalez, State Police announced Wednesday. Gonzalez, 43, was found shot to death on the porch of his home on W.Va. 2 in Gallipolis Ferry on July 11.

State Police Cpl. B.L. Keefer said Wednesday that troopers are looking for a dark-colored passenger car, possibly dark blue, with West Virginia license plates and tinted windows that was seen in the area on the day of the shooting. The car is believed to have oval-shaped headlights and a starter problem that creates a high-pitched grinding sound.

Keefer said the car was not a suspect vehicle, but a "vehicle of interest." State police think the people in the car may have seen something that may help with the murder investigation.

Anyone with information about the car, its occupants or the shooting is asked to call the Mason detachment of the State Police at 304-675-0850.
