The individual suspected of being the weekend's fatal shooting incident at Brown University reportedly committed suicide on Thursday night, according to law enforcement.

His body was discovered at a storage facility on Thursday evening, according to information citing an enforcement source. This suspect is also believed of the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor at a home in the Boston area.

“He committed suicide tonight,” announced the head of the Providence police department during a press conference.

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

This development follows a major law enforcement presence at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Witnesses reported seeing multiple armed officers entering the location.

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 development was admitted to be deeply concerning for the local community.

City leadership emphasized that while the letting go was a disappointment, the broader investigation was not paused unabated.

The young victims who lost their lives in the attack have been named by family. They are Ella Cook, a sophomore 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 press conference to provide additional information on the circumstances of the death.
