"The discovery of the body of Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a Portuguese national who studied physics at Brown University, earlier this week in a New Hampshire storage facility brought closure to two alarming cases. Authorities say they believe Valente, a 48-year-old who recently arrived in Boston, was behind the December 13 mass shooting at Brown University, and the December 16 murder of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro. The identification of Valente brings calm to communities worried about a mass killer on the loose."
""Accusations, speculation and conspiracies we're seeing on social media and in some news reports are irresponsible, harmful, and in some cases dangerous for the safety of individuals in our community," Brian Clark, vice president for news and strategic campus communications at Brown, told Fast Company in an emailed statement. "It is not unusual as a safety measure to take steps to protect an individual's safety when this kind of activity happens, including in regard to their online presence." Clark adds: "It's important to make clear that targeting individuals could do irrevocable harm.""
Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese national who studied physics at Brown University and had recently arrived in Boston, was identified after his body was found in a New Hampshire storage facility. Authorities believe he was responsible for the December 13 mass shooting at Brown and the December 16 killing of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro. The identification eased fears of a mass killer at large. Shaun Maguire promoted an alternate theory blaming a Palestinian Brown student and suggested the university was 'scrubbing' that student's online presence. Brown officials said the digital removals were protective and warned that accusations and conspiracies are harmful and dangerous.
