CLOSED: Beetle or Cockroach?

Dracut, MA

Found this one dead in my garage the other night. Found one in my house that I followed out under that door to the garage then lost it. Found two tonight outside our front door with the lights on. They scurry like a roach might. I'm hoping they are not. Any help would be appreciated.

Your pictures are pixelated and are hard to see but from what I CAN see, I don't think it's a roach. More like a beetle, maybe? Is it black?

Yes, it is black.

Sorry, added a larger file that is a little clearer hopefully.

It's a ground beetle; general predator on other small arthropods.
