The man suspected of being the recent deadly violence at Brown University reportedly committed suicide on Thursday evening, per law enforcement.
The discovery was made at a storage location on Thursday evening, according to information citing an official source. This suspect is also suspected of the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a residence in the Boston area.
“He ended his own life tonight,” announced the chief of the Providence police department during a press conference.
The police official identified the individual as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old individual enrolled at Brown University.
This news comes after a major law enforcement operation at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene described seeing multiple armed officers entering the premises.
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 admitted to be deeply concerning for the city residents.
Local officials noted that while the release was a disappointment, the overall case continued unabated.
The young victims who were killed in the attack have been named by family. 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 dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon.
Officials are scheduled to hold a news briefing to provide further details on the circumstances of the death.
