Authorities in Manchester, New Hampshire, are actively investigating a death that has been deemed suspicious after police were called to an apartment on Union Street earlier today. As reported by Boston 25 News, Manchester police responded to the 911 call and discovered a man deceased inside the residence. The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office has so far given no indication of an ongoing threat to the public related to this case.
Further details about the events leading up to the discovery are sparse, but a resident of the neighboring apartment, Grant Shealy, gave an account to the responding officers. "There was blood all over the door and like bloody footprints, and that’s all I really know," he revealed in an interview with NBC Boston. Shealy also recounted hearing prolonged screaming, which persisted for nearly an hour before he made the decision to investigate the commotion, only to find concerning signs of a violent altercation.
The woman seen exiting the apartment appeared "dejected," according to Shealy, although she did not communicate with him when prompted. His discovery and the state of the scene provided enough reason for him to engage law enforcement, as per NBC Boston.
With the investigation still in its early stages, officials have been tight-lipped about the specifics of the case. The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office stated there appears to be no continuous threat to the community, offering a sliver of information in the midst of many questions.
NBC Boston will be following this developing story and are expected to provide updates as more information becomes available from the police department and the Attorney General's Office. Locals are encouraged to check back with these sources for the latest on this ongoing investigation.
