On Friday, an Audi belonging to *Real Housewives of New Jersey* star Kim DePaola was found engulfed in flames on the side of a residential street in Paterson, New Jersey, [*NBC*](<https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Bodies-Found-Car-Burning-Paterson-New-Jersey-Police-28th-Street-Shots-Fired-Investigation-416445643.html>) reports.

Upon further inspection, police discovered two bodies inside the car that had been shot execution-style, which required authorities to cut open the roof of the car to pull them out, according to *[NBC](<https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Bodies-Found-Car-Burning-Paterson-New-Jersey-Police-28th-Street-Shots-Fired-Investigation-416445643.html>).* Before noticing the car that was on fire, neighbors reportedly heard two gunshots.

DePaola's son, Chris, uses the car in question. Apparently, a friend of Chris's brought DePaola to the airport last week; that friend, Aaron Anderson, 27, has apparently been out of reach ever since. His mother, speaking to [*NBC*](<https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Bodies-Found-Car-Burning-Paterson-New-Jersey-Police-28th-Street-Shots-Fired-Investigation-416445643.html>), said, "I've been calling him and it's going to voicemail. I would have heard from him."

While authorities haven't revealed a motive, they aren't ruling out the possibility that drugs may have been involved.
