US EditionAn MIT professor was fatally shot at his home and police launched a homicide investigation
Authorities continue an active homicide investigation into the fatal shooting of MIT plasma physics director Nuno Loureiro, with no suspects identified or motive released.
- On Dec. 15, 2025, Nuno F.G. Loureiro, 47, was shot in his Brookline, Massachusetts home and died Tuesday morning after being taken to a Boston hospital.
- Loureiro, director of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center, joined MIT in 2016 and was named center director last year to advance fusion and clean-energy research.
- Officers responded around 8:30 p.m. to reports of shots at a Gibbs Street apartment and found a victim with multiple gunshot wounds, while local residents reported hearing three loud bangs Monday evening.
- No one is in custody, the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office said, and MIT is offering support while Portuguese and U.S. officials issued condolences.
- That absence is felt across MIT, where colleagues described him as a leader; his death removes a head of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center with over 250 staff, occurring as authorities pursue a nearby manhunt after the Brown University rampage.
