A vehicle linked to the man accused of killing his wife has been found near the U.S.-Mexico border, officials confirmed Tuesday.
San Diego Police say Jeremy Green, 40, escaped in a 2007 silver Corvette after shooting his wife, Tressa Green, 37, to death outside their Scripps Ranch marriage counselor’s office on Saturday.
The Corvette was found Tuesday afternoon at and international parking lot behind a San Ysidro Jack in the Box, within a short walk to the pedestrian border crossing. Green was not found with it.
Police say the car will now be impounded and processed for evidence.
Surveillance video provided by the lot's employees shows a man in a blue shirt parking the Corvette on Saturday at 3 p.m. Police say Green shot his wife at about 2:10 p.m. that day.
The footage shows the driver getting out, changing his shirt and walking out of the parking lot in plain sight.
Court documents reveal the Greens had been dealing with financial troubles, including two bankruptcies, as the couple lived in Rancho Bernardo with their three children. Tressa filed for divorce in April.
After Saturday’s fatal shooting, law enforcement launched a statewide manhunt for Green, calling him armed and dangerous.
On Sunday, police found a shotgun registered to Green at Marian Bear Park, about 10 miles south of the shooting scene, though they would not confirm if that is considered the murder weapon. Another two handguns are registered to Green, but officials have not been able to locate those weapons.
Investigators told NBC 7 on Monday they did not believe Green was headed for Mexico.
Green has brown hair and brown eyes, standing about 5-foot-8-inches tall and weighing about 185 pounds.
