The suspect linked to the weekend's deadly violence at Brown University reportedly died by suicide on Thursday night, as stated by law enforcement.
The discovery was made at a storage location on Thursday evening, as reported from an official source. The same individual is also suspected of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.
“He committed suicide this evening,” stated the head of the Providence police department during a press conference.
The chief identified the individual as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old individual enrolled at Brown University.
This development follows a significant law enforcement presence at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene described seeing multiple agents in tactical gear converging on the premises.
The intensive search for the shooter had restarted on Monday after state prosecutors announced that a individual detained on Sunday had been let go. This turn of events was admitted to be likely to cause fresh anxiety for the local community.
City leadership emphasized that while the letting go was a setback, the broader investigation continued without interruption.
The two students who were killed in the shooting have been identified. They are Ella Cook, a sophomore 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.
Officials are expected to hold a press conference to deliver further details on the suspect's death.
