BRATTLEBORO — Brattleboro Police and Vermont State Police are investigating a homicide on Old Ferry Road.
According to a Nov. 9 release from State Police Lt. Kraig LaPorte, Brattleboro Police were called to a location on Old Ferry Road for a medical emergency.
Upon arrival, officers found a man dead in a vehicle. Rescue Inc. personnel also responded and confirmed his death.
The man was later identified as Sultan Rashed, 35, of Brattleboro.
An autopsy was performed Nov. 10 at the Chief Medical Examiner's office in Burlington, and State Police spokesman Scott Waterman said in a news release that the prelinimary results “indicate the cause of death to be gunshot, and the manner to be homicide.”
Waterman said the investigation into Rashed's death continues, but it has been established that his death ”is not a random act and does not suggest any threats to the public in general.”
Waterman said that anyone who may have had contact with Rashed between Nov. 8 and Nov. 9 is asked to call Brattleboro Police at 802-257-7950 or the Vermont State Police at 802-254-2382.
