Authorities have located Claudio Neves Valente, the suspect in a deadly shooting at Brown University, deceased in a New Hampshire storage facility. Valente, a former Brown student, is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Providence police chief Col. Oscar Perez.

The investigation has suggested Valente's involvement in the tragic events at Brown, which resulted in two deaths and multiple injuries, as well as his alleged role in the killing of an MIT professor in Brookline. However, official confirmation linking these incidents remains pending.

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha stated that a second individual's cooperation was pivotal in identifying Valente. Despite surveillance on Brown's campus, investigators faced challenges due to limited camera coverage in older building sections. The case continues to unfold, with many questions about Valente's motivations still unanswered.
