Brown University shooting suspect found dead inside Extra Space Storage Facility in Salem
SALEM, N.H. — The individual suspected in the Brown University shooting and the killing of Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno F. G. Loureiro was found deceased inside a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Authorities believe the individual died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Suspect was not a US citizen but instead a legal permanent resident.
Law enforcement sources said the suspect had a storage unit registered in his name at the same facility where an abandoned vehicle connected to the investigation was previously located.
Investigators had not entered the unit prior to the discovery. Surveillance video reportedly shows the suspect entering the storage complex; however, it remains unclear whether he exited before his death.
The investigation involved extensive coordination among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, particularly in the area near the Salem, New Hampshire–Methuen, Massachusetts border.
Earlier, Methuen police issued a public advisory requesting that residents report any individuals on foot who appeared out of place or were behaving suspiciously. Authorities emphasized at the time that there was no known threat to the public.
Investigators determined that the suspect used a vehicle linked to both the Brown University shooting and the MIT professor’s killing.
According to officials briefed on the case, the vehicle was the same make and model in both investigations but displayed different license plates.
A witness-provided license plate number in the Brown University case led authorities to trace the vehicle’s history, which ultimately connected it to the Brookline homicide.
Law enforcement later located the vehicle in Salem after a license plate reader flagged one of the associated plates, prompting a significant police presence in the area.
Officials said the suspect appeared to have employed multiple countermeasures to avoid detection, including switching license plates across jurisdictions and taking steps to limit identification through surveillance cameras and facial recognition technology.
Authorities noted that these actions suggested advance planning and drew comparisons to other high-profile manhunts in which suspects attempted to conceal their identities while evading capture.
The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have not yet released the suspect’s identity or additional details pending formal confirmation and notification procedures.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
The suspect, Gary Haley, was later found deceased aboard the vessel.
During the course of the response, officers also discovered a second adult male victim, Nathan Jones, who had been shot by the suspect.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has assumed responsibility for the investigation, which includes a homicide, an attempted homicide, and an officer-involved shooting.
TBI agents are actively conducting interviews, collecting evidence, and working to establish a comprehensive timeline of events.
Upon completion of the investigation, findings will be submitted to 15th Judicial District Attorney General Jason Lawson for review.
Authorities stated that additional information will be released as it becomes available.
