The man shot dead during a police-involved incident early Saturday morning has been identified by officials as Nickenley Turenne, 24, of Manchester. Turenne died from several bullet wounds, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner decided, therefore ruling the death to be homicide, or death brought on by another individual.
Manchester Police officers reacted to a report of a suspicious vehicle near South Mammoth Road by Green Acres Elementary School about 4:43 a.m. When officers found a man sleeping in the driver's seat and a woman sleeping in the passenger seat. The male driver sped off when cops woke the pair, therefore starting a police chase.
The chase ended when the car crashed into South Mammoth Road property. Turenne ran on foot following the collision, which caused a second encounter with authorities near 293 South Mammoth Road. Three Manchester Police officers fired their service weapons during that altercation, repeatedly striking Turenne.
Officers immediately began first aid attempts; Turenne was brought to a nearby hospital, where he eventually passed away.
The scene was swiftly contained, and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office together with the New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit started a complete probe. Investigators looked over the crash site on Saturday, which included the Honda automobile Turenne had been driving, Massachusetts commercial plates. Later the car was carried off of the property.
South Mammoth Road remained closed for most of the day while investigators gathered evidence. As part of the inquiry, police verify that Manchester officers were wearing body cameras and all video will be considered.
As is customary, the officials implicated in the shooting have been put on paid administrative leave. No officers were hurt.
The inquiry is still ongoing; the identities of the cops who fired their weapons won't be made public until official interviews are finished. The Attorney General's Office says more updates will be released when necessary to preserve the integrity of the current inquiry.
