Individual Accused in Brown University Shooting Found Discovered Dead Inside Storage Unit.

The man believed to be the weekend's fatal violence at Brown University reportedly took his own life on Thursday night, per law enforcement.

The discovery was made at a storage location on Thursday evening, according to information from an official source. The same individual 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 this evening,” announced the head of the Providence police department during a news briefing.

The police official identified the individual as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.

This development follows a major police presence at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene reported seeing multiple armed officers converging on the premises.

The intensive search for the shooter had resumed on Monday after the attorney general's office announced that a person of interest on Sunday had been let go. This development was admitted to be deeply concerning for the city residents.

City leadership noted that while the release was a setback, the overall case continued unabated.

The young victims who lost their lives 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 freshman year who dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon.

Officials are scheduled to hold a news briefing to deliver additional information on the circumstances of the death.
