CLEVELAND — The two Jeep SUVs pulled out of the Cuyahoga River two days ago were reported stolen, and one of them was used in a crime, according to Cleveland Police Public Information Officer Sergeant Freddy Diaz.

Diaz said police believe one of the two vehicles was used in a "shooting into a habitation."

On Tuesday, News 5 reported that authorities were searching the Cuyahoga River in connection to the disappearance of Keshaun Williams.

The vehicles were originally discovered by out-of-state divers who located the two SUVs on October 20.

An Illinois dive team was searching the Cuyahoga River for a missing father when they came across several vehicles.
