Police have identified former Brown University student Claudio Neves Valente as the gunman in both Saturday’s fatal shooting at the Ivy League school and Monday’s murder of an MIT professor, while also confirming he’s dead.
Valente, a Portuguese national, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Thursday night following a nearly weeklong manhunt, Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez announced at a press conference, five full days into the department’s frantic search for the killer.
