German was found stabbed to death outside his home on Sept. 3.
Wednesday, crews witnessed officers going in and out of Telles' home.
In a public update on Tuesday, Capt. Dori Koren shared new photos of a vehicle believed to be connected to German's killing: A red or maroon 2007-2014 GMC Yukon Denali with chrome handles, a sunroof, and a luggage rack.
A vehicle parked in the driveway at Telles' home appeared similar to the vehicle in photos Koren shared.

German, an investigative reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, published several stories about Telles. Telles has publicly stated negative things about German and his reporting in the past.
Earlier this week, police shared photos of a potential suspect who was seen near German's home, wearing a large-brimmed straw hat and a long-sleeved orange construction shirt.

In a statement to the media on Wednesday, officials didn't specify where they were searching.
"No further information will be provided at this time," they said.
