INDIANAPOLIS -- Police on Saturday found a pickup truck they believe was involved in a shooting targeting Indiana Pacers player Jamaal Tinsley and his companions, and investigators want to question the truck's owner, authorities said.
Authorities said they consider the truck's owner, 20-year-old Kyle Neville (pictured), also known as Kyle Scott, as someone who was involved in the Dec. 9 shooting that struck Tinsley's vehicles and injured Pacers equipment manager Joey Qatato in front of the Conrad Hotel downtown.

Police had sought a blue pickup truck since the shooting, saying surveillance video at the hotel made them believe someone from such a vehicle shot two of Tinsley's vehicles, including the Rolls Royce in which Tinsley and Qatato were sitting.
Information on how police found the truck wasn't available, but they said they were holding it Saturday afternoon at a local wrecker service.
Investigators believe details thseen on the truck in the hotel surveillance video match details on the truck that police found, Indianapolis police Sgt. Matt Mount said.
Police said Scott has previous convictions for possession of cocaine and marijuana and is on probation. Police said anyone with information on his whereabouts should call The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department's aggravated assault unit at 317-327-3733 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
Police Also Seek Woman, Chrysler 300Earlier this week, police released surveillance video that shows a woman and a car that investigators are seeking in connection with the shooting.
Police said that well before the shooting, Tinsley and some companions arrived at the Cloud 9 nightclub on the city's west side in three cars owned by Tinsley -- a Mercedes, a Rolls-Royce and a Dodge Charger. Indianapolis police Sgt. Paul Thompson has said a group of people gathered around the Rolls-Royce and gave Tinsley a hard time about his cars and his earnings.
After Tinsley and his entourage left, the taunters followed, apparently in a gray Chrysler and a dark pickup truck, police said.
The taunters followed Tinsley's group to a gas station and continued to talk to Tinsley as his vehicle was being fueled, police said.
Surveillance video from the Marathon gas station at 38th Street and High School Road shows one of the taunters' vehicles -- a silver Chrysler 300 -- parked near Tinsley's Rolls Royce, police said. The video also shows a woman (pictured) exiting the Chrysler, according to police.
Later that morning, the Chrysler and a blue pickup truck followed Tinsley's group of three vehicles downtown, and someone from the pickup fired an assault rifle, hitting two of Tinsley's vehicles and wounding Qatato in the elbows in front of the Conrad Hotel, police said.
Police released the gas station surveillance video to the news media, saying they hope the public will help them find the Chrysler 300 and the woman.
