Brown University Shooting Suspect Has Storage Unit at Salem Extra Space Storage Facility Where Abandoned Car Was Found
SALEM, N.H. — Law enforcement sources say investigators are examining a storage unit registered in the name of a suspect at the same Extra Space Storage facility where an abandoned vehicle connected to the investigation was located.
Authorities have not entered the unit, and it remains unclear whether it contains evidence related to the case.
Surveillance video reviewed by investigators reportedly shows the individual entering the storage complex; however, officials have not confirmed whether the person exited the property.
The individual is being sought in connection with the Brown University shooting and the killing of Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno F. G. Loureiro.
According to officials briefed on the investigation, the vehicle believed to be associated with the person of interest was observed using multiple sets of license plates in different locations, a tactic investigators believe was intended to evade detection.
Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies are conducting an active search in the area near the border of Salem, New Hampshire, and Methuen, Massachusetts.
In a social media advisory, Methuen police said officers are assisting in an investigation related to a “recent death” and urged the public to remain alert.
“If you observe any individuals on foot who appear out of place, unfamiliar to the area, or behaving in a manner that seems unusual or suspicious, please report it immediately,” Methuen police stated. Authorities emphasized that there is no known threat to the public or residents at this time.
Investigators say coordination between agencies intensified after detectives working the Brown University shooting recognized similarities with information released in the MIT professor homicide.
A law enforcement official said the vehicle sought in both cases was the same make and model, though it was displaying different license plates.
A witness-provided plate number in the Brown University case led investigators to trace the vehicle’s history, ultimately linking it to the car of interest in the Brookline homicide.
Using license plate reader technology, authorities were able to locate the vehicle in Salem, New Hampshire, prompting a significant law enforcement presence in the surrounding area, according to officials familiar with the operation.
Investigators believe the person of interest employed multiple countermeasures to avoid identification, including switching license plates across jurisdictions and taking steps to limit exposure to surveillance cameras and facial recognition systems.
One official said these actions suggest a degree of planning.
Authorities noted that the tactics bear similarities to past high-profile manhunts in which suspects attempted to conceal their identities while evading capture.
The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have not announced any arrests or filed charges.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
