Federal authorities searched a home in Antioch, Tenn., in connection with the explosion that occurred Friday in Nashville, according to an FBI official. 

The FBI has been searching a duplex located in the Nashville neighborhood collecting evidence in relation to the explosion of an RV Christmas morning, according FBI public affairs officer Darrell DeBusk, The Tennessean reported. 

CBS reported earlier Saturday that law enforcement has identified a person of interest named Anthony Quinn Warner, citing law enforcement sources. 

Multiple law enforcement officials with knowledge of the matter told ABC News that the properties are associated with Warner.

Nashville police officers responded to an emergency call of gunshots at 5:30 a.m. and found the recreational vehicle playing a recording, warning bystanders that it was going to explode. The RV exploded at 6:30 a.m.

The explosion resulted in injuries of at least three people and destroyed at least 41 businesses, with authorities labeling the incident an “intentional act.” 

Around 2:30. p.m. on Saturday, officers cleared the home for the search. DeBusk said that the home in Antioch was undergoing “court authorized activity.”
