Person of Interest in Brown University Shooting Found Discovered Dead Inside Self-Storage Unit.

The man believed to be the recent deadly shooting incident at Brown University reportedly died by suicide on Thursday evening, according to officials.

His body was discovered at a storage location on Thursday evening, according to information citing an enforcement source. The same individual is also believed of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a residence in the Boston area.

“He took his own life tonight,” said the head of the Providence police department during a press conference.

The chief named the individual as Claudio Nevis Valenti, a 48-year-old student at Brown University.

This news follows a major law enforcement presence at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene reported seeing numerous agents in tactical gear entering the premises.

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

Local officials emphasized that while the release was a setback, the broader investigation was not paused without interruption.

The two students who were killed in the shooting 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 Uzbek national in his freshman year who aspired to a neurosurgeon.

Authorities are expected to hold a news briefing to provide additional information on the suspect's death.
