BREAKING UPDATE: Police surround abandoned car in NH, close in on Brown University suspect

Footage of police surrounding the vehicle at a Salem, New Hampshire storage facility spread online on Thursday evening. Some of the law enforcement officers had their guns drawn and pointed at the building in question where the car was abandoned.

According to Boston 25 News, the search was centered around the vehicle, which is similar to the make and model allegedly seen in the area of the shooting of an MIT professor in Brookline. Police are investigating the car as a possible link between the Brookline shooting and the Brown University shooting.

That is only one of the links between the two shootings that authorities have been investigating, according to NBC News.

This comes as police have said that a suspect in the Brown shooting has been identified. The shooting took place on Saturday in Rhode Island, with the killing of Ella Cook, 19, as well as Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18. Several others were also injured.

An arrest warrant has been issued for the suspect in the case, but police did not immediately name the suspect. After the shooting, authorities released several grainy photos of the suspect and were heavily scrutinized over what seemed to some to be a disorganized manhunt for the killer.

Former FBI Special Agent in Charge as well as the former head of the Chicago Police Department, Jody Weis, slammed the investigation that has been carried out. "That was literally a mess to me," Weis said of a recent press conference where the police chief failed to provide a description of the suspect.

Additionally, a person of interest was identified by the police publicly and but was later released without any charges when the department identified the wrong person.
