The frantic search for the suspect in Saturday’s shooting at Brown University is now centered on Salem, New Hampshire, where a suspicious vehicle was found outside a storage facility, according to reports and sources.
Heavily armed law enforcement officers swarmed a parked car in Salem late Thursday that appeared to be a similar make and model to a vehicle allegedly spotted near both the scenes of the Ivy League shooting — and the murder of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro in Brookline, according to Boston 25 News and CBS News.

Authorities, including several Providence Police officers and at least one FBI negotiator, also expanded their search into an Extra Space Storage facility on Hampshire Road, the local outlet reported.
The area of police activity is roughly 84 miles away from where the suspect opened fire inside a classroom and escaped into the surrounding streets of Providence, Rhode Island, on Saturday.

Multiple grainy surveillance footage have been released of the alleged killer, but details on the gunman or his motive have been slow to come amid the frenzied search.
Students Ella Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore from Alabama who served as vice president of the school’s Republican club, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, an 18-year-old Uzbek American freshman, were killed in the attack at Brown University.
Loureiro, the MIT Professor, died at a local hospital on Tuesday after he was shot dead at his home in a quiet area outside of Boston.
The elite colleges are less than 50 miles apart.
