Individual Accused in Brown University Shooting Located Deceased Inside Storage Facility.
The man suspected of being the weekend's deadly violence at Brown University authorities state committed suicide on Thursday evening, per officials.
He was found at a storage facility on Thursday evening, as reported from an enforcement source. The same individual is also believed of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.
“He ended his own life tonight,” said the chief of the Providence police department during a news briefing.
The chief identified the deceased man as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old individual enrolled at Brown University.
This development comes after a significant police presence at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene described seeing numerous armed officers 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 acknowledged to be likely to cause fresh anxiety for the local community.
City leadership noted that while the letting go was a disappointment, the broader investigation continued unabated.
The two students who lost their lives in the shooting have been identified. They are Ella Cook, a sophomore 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 news briefing to deliver further details on the suspect's death.
