Individual Accused in Brown University Shooting Found Discovered Deceased Inside Storage Facility.
The man believed to be the weekend's deadly violence at Brown University reportedly died by suicide on Thursday evening, according to officials.
He was found at a storage location on Thursday evening, according to information citing an official source. This suspect is also believed of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a residence 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 deceased man as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.
This news comes after a major law enforcement operation at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Witnesses reported seeing numerous armed officers entering the premises.
The intensive search for the perpetrator had restarted on Monday after state prosecutors revealed that a individual detained on Sunday had been let go. This development was admitted to be deeply concerning for the city residents.
Local officials emphasized that while the letting go was a setback, the overall case continued without interruption.
The young victims who lost their lives in the attack have been identified. They are Ella Cook, a second-year student from Alabama who was served as vice-president for a campus political group, and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, an Uzbek national in his first year who aspired to a neurosurgeon.
Authorities are scheduled to hold a news briefing to provide additional information on the suspect's death.
