Mysterious Find in Storage Unit: Cleanup Crew Dive into New Orleans Attack Case

Houston, USAWed Jan 08 2025
Finding something unusual in a quiet storage facility. That's exactly what happened in northwest Harris County when FBI agents discovered a cooler filled with sulfuric acid in a unit tied to a New Orleans attack suspect. This isn't your everyday storage unit story; it's part of a larger investigation. The cooler, similar to one found after the deadly New Orleans attack, was tucked away in a unit at SpareBox Storage on Walters Road. FBI agents and Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies were seen going in and out of the storage unit late Monday night. Inside the cooler, they found bottles of sulfuric acid, which were commercially available and purchased nearby in Houston. But don't worry, officials have assured that there's no immediate threat to public safety. Earnest Washington, who rents a unit at the same facility, was surprised to hear about the investigation. "You wouldn't believe it happening so close to home, " he said. Washington mentioned that the facility is usually quiet, with self-service kiosks and no employees typically on site. The investigation is ongoing, and it's a reminder that sometimes, things aren't always what they seem in our neighborhoods.
