Person of Interest in Brown University Incident Located Dead Inside Storage Unit.

The man believed to be the weekend's deadly shooting incident at Brown University authorities state committed suicide on Thursday evening, according to law enforcement.

The discovery was made at a storage location on Thursday evening, as reported from an official 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 this evening,” said the chief of the Providence police department during a press conference.

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

This news follows a major law enforcement operation at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire earlier on Thursday. Journalists on scene described seeing numerous armed officers converging on the premises.

The manhunt for the shooter had resumed on Monday after state prosecutors announced that a person of interest on Sunday had been let go. This development was acknowledged to be likely to cause fresh anxiety for the city residents.

Local officials noted that while the release was a setback, the broader investigation continued unabated.

The two students who were killed 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 international student in his first year who aspired to a neurosurgeon.

Authorities are scheduled to hold a press conference to provide further details on the suspect's death.
