Brown attack suspect died two days before his body was found, autopsy finds

Claudio Neves Valente killed two Brown University students and an MIT professor before dying by suicide; nine others were wounded in the Brown shooting, police said.

  • Authorities found Claudio Neves Valente dead at a Salem, New Hampshire storage facility by Friday, and an autopsy determined he had been dead for two days.
  • Investigators say the suspect, believed responsible for shooting MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro, was involved in the Brown University attack that killed two students during a study session, with events occurring earlier this week.
  • Police traced a Nissan Sentra with Florida plates and used footage from the Flock Safety street camera network with more than 70 cameras, noting the suspect later obscured the rental plate with a Maine license plate.
  • Following the body's discovery, officials said the nearly weeklong manhunt ended and Paulo Rangel, Portugal's foreign minister, confirmed the country provided 'very broad cooperation' after U.S. authorities contacted Portuguese police.
  • With campus security in focus, investigators say motives remain unclear as Claudio Neves Valente and Nuno F.G. Loureiro attended the same Portuguese academic program in the 1990s.
