BROOKLINE, Mass. (
MyFoxBoston.com) -- FOX25 uncovered a photo of terror suspect Usaama Rahim. It is our first look at Rahim. The photo is from his 2007 yearbook. FOX25 was first to report the photo on social media Wednesday afternoon.
Rahim, who federal agents say was organizing a terrorism type plot, was shot and killed Tuesday when authorities say he pulled a large knife on the terrorism task force doing surveillance on him. The task force was also watching David Wright, who was arraigned Wednesday in connection with the plot.
Longtime friends and family of Rahim say they didn't see any red flags.
Naib Ismail Abdurrashid said, "There was nothing observed or articulated to us which would have led us to believe what is alleged against his character."
FOX25 learned that the 26-year-old worked as a security guard at the Islamic Society of Boston back in 2013. He also worked at Best Buy briefly and most recently was employed by CVS as a loss prevention officer.

Abdurrashid said he was "smiling, always smiling always happy. Always had a smile on his face. Always willing to help. Just an overall good American kid."
Rahim was living with his wife and two brothers at his mother's apartment. Those close to him say that his mother was a nurse and that he had a wonderful family.
His body was returned to his family as of Wednesday as the Medical Examiner expedited the autopsy. Friends of the family say they are working to organize services this week.
