Brown University Shooting Suspect Found Dead in Salem, NH

Authorities say the multi-day manhunt connected to the deadly shooting at Brown University may have come to an end in Salem, New Hampshire.

According to multiple news outlets citing law enforcement sources, the suspect believed to be responsible for the Brown University shooting Claudio Manuel Neves‑Valent was found dead inside a storage facility in Salem. Early reports indicate the death appears to be self-inflicted, though officials have not yet released a detailed public statement confirming the cause.

Police activity escalated Thursday at an Extra Space Storage facility on Hampshire Road, where a vehicle believed to be connected to the suspect was located. Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, surrounded the area as part of the investigation.

The shooting at Brown University occurred earlier this week inside an engineering building during final exam period, killing two students and injuring several others. Authorities have also been investigating a possible connection between the Brown University attack and the recent fatal shooting of an MIT professor in Brookline, Massachusetts, though no official link has been confirmed.

Officials have stated there is no ongoing threat to the public, but the investigation remains active as authorities work to formally identify the suspect and determine the full timeline of events.

This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available from law enforcement.
