Vermont State Police said late Tuesday that officers saw the person of interest in Anderson’s suspicious death walking in West Brattleboro around 7.45pm local time.
Cops tried to talk with the man and at some point, officers shot and killed him, a news release from state police said.
Vermont authorities declined to immediately release the name of the person of interest who was killed.
Massachusetts State Police later said in a Tweet that Davis, who was initially called “a potential source of information,” had been fatally shot during a confrontation with police in Vermont.

HORROR DISCOVERY
Mary’s body was found in the back of her pickup truck in Brattleboro at 12.55am on Tuesday, cops said.
She had last been seen in Hudson, New Hampshire at 10.30pm on Saturday.
Her family called cops on Sunday evening after she didn’t return home from seeing friends.
Friends and family began to worry that she was with an ex-boyfriend, adding that there were strange social media posts on fake accounts under Mary’s name last week.
“She had some weird stuff going on with her Snapchat and Instagram accounts that I know was not her posting directly,” her friend Abagail told CBS News.
Police said they were trying to locate and speak with Mary’s ex-boyfriend, Matthew Davis.
He was described as a white male, around 5 foot 6, with brown hair and blue eyes.
FAMILY’S HEARTBREAKING PLEA
Mary’s mother described Davis as “having anger issues,” CBS News reported.
The mom said the most heart-wrenching aspect of the horror situation was the fact that Mary could have spent her final days alone.
“She wasn’t with her mom and her siblings,” Sheila Anderson said.
“I think that’s the devastating part of knowing what she was going through the last four days.”
Major Dan Trudeau with the Vermont State Police warned the public that Davis should be considered dangerous.
“I’m not saying that he’s a suspect, but he is important to us, that if the public were to see him walking around, I would not approach him,” Trudeau said.
