Individual Accused in Brown University Tragedy Found Discovered Deceased Inside Storage Facility.
The individual suspected of being the recent deadly violence at Brown University reportedly died by suicide on Thursday evening, according to law enforcement.
The discovery was made at a storage location on Thursday evening, as reported citing an enforcement source. The same individual is also suspected of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a residence in the Boston area.
“He took his own life tonight,” stated the chief of the Providence police department during a news briefing.
The police official named the deceased man as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.
This development follows a major law enforcement presence at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene described seeing multiple armed officers 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 released. This development was admitted to be likely to cause fresh anxiety for the city residents.
Local officials noted that while the release was a setback, the broader investigation was not paused without interruption.
The two students who were killed 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 international student 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.
