Person of Interest in Brown University Tragedy Located Dead Inside Storage Facility.
The man suspected of being the recent deadly violence at Brown University reportedly took his own life on Thursday night, per officials.
The discovery was made at a storage location on Thursday evening, as reported from an official source. The same individual is also believed of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.
“He took his own life this evening,” stated the chief 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 follows a major law enforcement operation at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene described seeing multiple agents in tactical gear entering the location.
The manhunt for the shooter had restarted on Monday after the attorney general's office announced that a individual detained on Sunday had been let go. This turn of events was admitted to be deeply concerning for the city residents.
City leadership emphasized that while the release was a setback, the broader investigation was not paused unabated.
The two students who were killed in the shooting have been named by family. 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 expected to hold a news briefing to provide additional information on the circumstances of the death.
