Authorities have identified the man found dead near a high school in Manchester, New Hampshire on Thursday afternoon and say they are looking for a man suspected of killing him.
The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office had previously said only that it was investigating the death in the vicinity of Central High School and that it was considered suspicious. The investigation prompted a stay-in-place order at the school Thursday.
But on Friday, prosecutors and Manchester police announced that the man was 46-year-old Te-Jay Thomas and he died by homicide, from blunt-force trauma to his head and neck.
According to investigators, Thomas was seen arguing with another man near Domino's on Lowell Street. During that argument, the other man attacked Thomas on the sidewalk.

There is not believed to be a threat to the public.
The investigation was still continuing on Friday afternoon.
