Brown University shooting suspect found dead. And Epstein files release deadline looms

"The suspect in the Saturday shooting at Brown University that killed two students and injured nine others was found dead in a New Hampshire storage unit, according to authorities. The same person, 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, is believed to have fatally shot MIT physics professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro in his home on Monday. Authorities say they do not yet have a motive for the two shootings."

"Valente attended Brown University as a graduate student in physics in 2000, Ocean State Media's Ben Berke tells Up First. He dropped out after a year and re-entered the country in 2017. He allegedly went to university in Portugal with the MIT professor he killed, according to police. A witness saw Valente in a bathroom at Brown, followed him out of the building and chased him to his car, Berke says. The shooting happened a few hours later."

"Police connected the shooter to the vehicle and tracked him after the witness posted about it on Reddit. Berke says questions remain over what the political response to the shootings will look like, and how people will react to the university's and law enforcement's response. Last night, President Trump suspended the green card lottery program that allowed the alleged shooter to come to the U.S."

A suspect was found dead in a New Hampshire storage unit after shootings that killed two Brown University students and injured nine others and after an MIT physics professor was fatally shot at his home. The suspect is identified as 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente. Valente attended Brown as a graduate physics student in 2000, dropped out after a year, and re-entered the United States in 2017. A witness followed the suspect from a Brown bathroom to his car and posted about it on Reddit, which helped police connect and track the vehicle. The president suspended the green card lottery program that allowed the alleged shooter to enter the U.S., and the Justice Department faces a deadline to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
