Person of Interest in Ivy League Campus Incident Found Discovered Dead Inside Storage Unit.
The man linked to the weekend's fatal shooting incident at Brown University reportedly committed suicide on Thursday evening, according to officials.
The discovery was made at a storage location on Thursday evening, according to information citing an official source. The same individual is also suspected of the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.
“He committed suicide this evening,” stated the chief of the Providence police department during a news briefing.
The chief named the individual as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.
This development comes after a major police operation at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene reported seeing numerous armed officers converging on the premises.
The intensive search for the shooter had restarted on Monday after the attorney general's office announced that a individual detained on Sunday had been released. This turn of events was admitted to be likely to cause fresh anxiety for the city residents.
Local officials noted that while the letting go was a disappointment, the overall case continued without interruption.
The young victims who lost their lives in the attack 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.
Authorities are scheduled to hold a news briefing to deliver additional information on the circumstances of the death.
