An unconfirmed photograph circulating online purports to show an individual alleged to be connected to the Brown University shooting investigation, following a significant law enforcement presence at an Extra Space Storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire, according to witnesses at the scene.
Witnesses reported that the storage facility became surrounded by police as part of ongoing investigative activity believed to be connected to the multi-state manhunt related to the Brown University shooting and the separate killing of an MIT professor in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Authorities have not publicly confirmed the identity of any suspect or whether the individual shown in the image is connected to either case.
Social media claims suggested the person depicted was an employee at the Extra Space Storage location; however, this information has not been verified by law enforcement.
A woman identifying herself as the sister of the facility’s manager stated that her brother was wrongly identified as a suspect during the police operation.
According to her account, the manager was allegedly cornered by officers and detained at gunpoint, with rifles drawn, before authorities determined he was not the individual they were seeking.
Police have not publicly commented on this claim.
Officials have not confirmed whether the Salem police activity resulted in any arrests or whether it directly involved the person of interest in the Brown University investigation.
No official statement has been released linking the Extra Space Storage facility or its employees to the shooting.
Authorities continue to urge the public to avoid spreading unverified images or claims, emphasizing that premature speculation can place innocent individuals at risk and interfere with active investigations.
The investigation into the Brown University shooting and the Brookline homicide remains ongoing, and officials have asked anyone with verified information to contact law enforcement through official tip lines.
