The younger Louras’ cousin, 34-year-old Nicholas Louras, died of gunshot wounds to the head and neck, authorities said. Nicholas Louras was found dead on Route 53 in Salisbury, hours after police killed his cousin.
Vermont State Police have said the deaths of the cousins are related, and that there is no suspect at-large in the death of Nicholas Louras. Police have declined to provide more information.
