UPDATE
7:30 PM PST -- The deceased suspect in last weekend's mass shooting at Brown University has been identified as Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a 48-year-old former Brown graduate student and immigrant from Portugal. He arrived in the United States in August 2000 as an F-1 student at Brown University and was enrolled in a doctoral program, according to authorities. However, he at some point withdrew from the university for an undisclosed reason. He obtained U.S. lawful permanent residency in April 2017.
The suspected gunman in the Brown University shooting was found dead in New Hampshire on Thursday night, federal law enforcement sources confirm to TMZ.
According to our law enforcement sources, the unidentified suspect was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a storage facility in Salem.
As you know ... two students were killed and nine people were injured during the shooting over the weekend at the Rhode Island campus -- and police have been frantically searching for the shooter since.
They brought a person of interest into custody shortly after the shooting -- a 24-year-old Wisconsin man who was later released.
Photos and videos of a different person -- a stocky man dressed in black wearing a face mask -- walking near campus on Saturday has been a key lead for the officers ... who were spotted digging through snow looking for evidence earlier this week.
