Claudio Valente, aged 48, has been recognized as the individual suspected in the shooting incident at Brown University.

 Authorities have identified the individual linked to a shooting inquiry involving Brown University as Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente, a 48-year-old student and a national of Portugal.

As per law enforcement representatives, Neves-Valente was discovered dead in a storage unit located at an Extra Space Storage site on Hampshire Road in Salem, New Hampshire. Investigators suspect the death to be self-inflicted, although officials have emphasized that the inquiry is still open and awaiting final confirmation from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

The police reported discovering Neves-Valente with a bag and two guns. Officials mentioned that the evidence collected from a vehicle linked to him aligns with the evidence found at the scene in Providence, Rhode Island, where the initial incident being investigated took place. Further information regarding the evidence or the timeline connecting these two locations has not been disclosed by the authorities.

Brown University has confirmed its awareness of the situation and stated it is cooperating completely with law enforcement. The university has not provided specific information about Neves-Valente’s academic status, other than affirming his status as a student.

Law enforcement agencies reassured the public that there is no imminent threat. Several agencies responded to the incident in Salem as part of a coordinated investigation.

Officials advised the community to avoid speculation, pointing out that false information has emerged online. Authorities mentioned that more confirmed information would be shared as it is obtained.

This is an ongoing investigation, and updates are anticipated as law enforcement concludes its examination of the evidence and the details surrounding the case.
