The man linked to the weekend's fatal shooting incident at Brown University reportedly took his own life on Thursday night, according to law enforcement.
He was found at a storage facility on Thursday evening, according to information from an enforcement source. The same individual is also suspected of the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.
“He took his own life this evening,” stated the head of the Providence police department during a press conference.
The police official identified the deceased man as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.
This development comes after a significant law enforcement presence at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene described seeing numerous armed officers converging on the location.
The intensive search for the shooter had resumed on Monday after state prosecutors revealed that a individual detained on Sunday had been released. This turn of events was acknowledged to be deeply concerning for the local community.
Local officials noted that while the release was a disappointment, the broader investigation was not paused without interruption.
The young victims who lost their lives 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 aspired to a neurosurgeon.
Officials are scheduled to hold a press conference to deliver further details on the circumstances of the death.
