Investigators have a Google Maps photo of the address of Warner that shows an RV similar to the one used in the explosion parked in his yard, CBS News reports.

Also, neighbors confirmed to The Tennessean that a similar RV was parked at his home within the last two weeks.

Police responded to a call of shots fired early Friday near the AT&T building in downtown Nashville. Instead, officers found a recreational vehicle with a recording that said a potential bomb was to detonate in 15 minutes.

At least three people were hurt after the bomb detonated and several buildings were damaged. Metro Nashville Police Department Chief John Drake said on Friday that investigators found tissue near the explosion site that they believe to be human. Drake did not say whether the remains were from someone connected to the bombing or an innocent victim.
