Authorities have identified Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente as the suspect connected to the Brown University shooting and a separate MIT-related killing, ending a multi-state manhunt after he was found dead inside a storage unit in New Hampshire, according to law enforcement sources.

Police confirmed Thursday that Neves-Valente’s body was discovered inside a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire. Investigators located a firearm believed to be connected to the attacks. Authorities stated the death appears to be self-inflicted, though the investigation remains ongoing.

The identification follows days of intensive searching after a shooting at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, left multiple victims dead and critically injured. Law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal levels coordinated the manhunt as the suspect fled the state.

Investigators are also probing a possible connection to the fatal shooting of an MIT-affiliated individual in Massachusetts. While officials have not yet released full details, they have publicly acknowledged the cases may be linked based on evidence gathered during the investigation.

Officials stated Neves-Valente had prior ties to the academic community, though authorities have not released a motive. Brown University officials suspended campus activities as a precaution while law enforcement worked to locate the suspect.

The discovery of Neves-Valente’s body brings an end to the immediate threat. Authorities emphasized that the investigation remains active. It focuses particularly on motive, weapon sourcing, and any potential accomplices.
