"Investigators turned on Friday to the search for a motive in the murders of two Brown University students and a physics professor in Massachusetts in separate but linked attacks, after the prime suspect was found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. The body of Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, a Portuguese national and formerly very briefly a student at Brown, was discovered in a New Hampshire storage facility on Thursday night after a five-day manhunt."
"Neves Valente had no current affiliation with the university, Brown's president, Christina Paxson, said, but he was enrolled at Brown from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001 as a graduate student studying physics, before leaving. At a later news conference on Thursday in Boston, Leah Foley, US attorney for Massachusetts, said Neves Valente and Loureiro attended the same academic program between 1995 and 2000 at Instituto Superior Tecnico, Portugal's premier engineering university."
A five-day manhunt ended with Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in a New Hampshire storage facility. He is accused of a mass shooting at Brown University's Barus & Holley engineering building in Providence that killed students Ella Cook and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov and wounded nine others. The suspect then allegedly drove to Brookline, Massachusetts, and fatally shot MIT professor Nuno FG Loureiro at his home. Neves Valente briefly enrolled as a Brown graduate physics student in 2000–2001 and attended the same program as Loureiro at Instituto Superior Técnico. Authorities continue to investigate a motive.
