Person of Interest in Brown University Incident Found Discovered Deceased Inside Storage Facility.
The man believed to be the weekend's fatal shooting incident at Brown University reportedly took his own life on Thursday evening, as stated by law enforcement.
His body was discovered at a storage location on Thursday evening, according to information from an enforcement source. This suspect is also suspected of the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.
“He ended his own life this evening,” said the head of the Providence police department during a press conference.
The chief named the individual as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.
This news follows a significant police operation at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene described seeing multiple agents in tactical gear entering the premises.
The manhunt for the shooter had restarted on Monday after the attorney general's office announced that a individual detained on Sunday had been released. This turn of events was admitted to be deeply concerning for the city residents.
City leadership noted that while the release was a disappointment, the overall case was not paused unabated.
The two students who were killed in the attack have been named by family. They are Ella Cook, a second-year student from Alabama who was active in a campus political group, and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, an international student in his freshman year who dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon.
Authorities are scheduled to hold a press conference to deliver additional information on the suspect's death.
