Suspect in Brown Shooting and MIT Professor Killing Found Dead. A man suspected of killing two people and wounding several others at Brown University was found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility, officials said. Police identified the suspect as Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities said Neves Valente was believed to have acted alone and was also responsible for the fatal shooting of an MIT professor in Massachusetts. Two people were killed and nine wounded in the mass shooting at Brown University, while MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro was shot dead at his home days later. Investigators said the suspect had academic ties to both institutions and had previously studied in the same program as Loureiro in Portugal. Officials traced Neves Valente through a rented vehicle seen near Brown and surveillance footage linking him to the area near the MIT professor’s home. Authorities said the motive remained unclear, with investigators still trying to understand why the attacks occurred and how the suspect evaded capture. Tributes poured in for Loureiro, a leading physicist and clean energy researcher, as universities grappled with the aftermath of the deadly violence.
