The man believed to be behind a mass shooting at Brown University that left two people dead and wounded several others has been found dead in United States.
Officials said the suspect, a 48-year-old Portuguese national who was a student at Brown University, was responsible for the fatal shooting of a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in his Boston home.
Providence police chief Oscar Perez, who identified the suspect as Claudio Neves-Valente, told reporters: “He took his own life tonight.”
The shooter, who was found at a storage unit in New Hampshire along with two firearms, is believed to have acted alone.

“Tonight, our Providence neighbours can finally breathe a little bit easier,” Mayor Brett Smiley said on Thursday, December 18, 2025.
There was no immediate indication of a motive in the twin shootings at two of the top universities in the United States.
“The groundwork that started in the city of Providence led us to that connection,” Perez said, without offering further details, with an upcoming press conference set in Boston.
The shooting at Brown – located in Providence, Rhode Island – happened on Saturday, when a man with a rifle burst into a campus building at the Ivy League college where students were taking exams.
The man opened fire, killing two students and then fleeing.
