How Investigators Tracked Brown, MIT Shootings Suspect Across State Lines
Claudio Manuel Neves Valente used switched license plates on a rental car to evade capture before his apparent suicide in New Hampshire, officials said.
- On Thursday, officials identified Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, a Portuguese national from Miami, and found him dead inside a Salem, New Hampshire storage facility from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
- A tip to the police tip center provided a vehicle description, and Flock Safety license-plate readers traced the car to an Alamo car rental, Massachusetts, where the rental agreement named the suspect.
- A faculty member saw a grey sedan with Florida plates moving slowly on Waterman Street, and a Reddit post described a grey Nissan that police need to investigate, authorities said.
- The FBI offered a $50,000 reward as hundreds of investigators searched after a tip linked Neves Valente to Brown University, where he was a student from 2000 to 2001.
- A man who encountered the suspect at Brown provided the lead that led Providence police to the rental car, photographs, and a satchel with two firearms, while surveillance video confirmed the suspect’s identity.
