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.

  • On Thursday night, authorities found Claudio Neves Valente dead at a Salem, New Hampshire storage facility, and an autopsy determined he had been dead for two days.
  • Investigators say the Brown University attack occurred last weekend, and the suspect’s body was found dead on Tuesday, after allegedly shooting MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro.
  • Police traced a Nissan Sentra with Florida plates and used the Flock Safety street camera network to follow the suspect, who later covered the rental plate with a Maine license plate.
  • Following the body's discovery, officials said the nearly weeklong manhunt ended, Paulo Rangel, Portugal's foreign minister, praised the `very broad cooperation` between U.S. authorities and Portuguese police.
  • Investigators say motives remain unclear as they probe why Claudio Neves Valente allegedly attacked years after leaving school; he and Nuno F.G. Loureiro attended the Portuguese academic program in the 1990s, and Valente obtained legal permanent resident status in September 2017.
