Who was Claudio Neves Valente? Here's what we know so far.
"Claudio Neves Valente, 48, killed two students and injured nine others Saturday on the Brown campus in Providence, Rhode Island, according to the city's police chief. He managed to leave the campus and eluded police for days. While the search went on, he traveled to Brookline, Massachusetts, where he shot a professor at MIT on Monday, according to the U.S. attorney in Massachusetts."
"Valente briefly studied physics as a graduate student at Brown University, enrolling in the fall of 2000 and leaving in the spring of 2001. He took a leave of absence in April 2001 before formally withdrawing in 2003. During his time at the university, he likely spent time in Barus and Holley, the physics complex where the shooting later occurred. Officials said there was no indication that he knew the two students who were killed or nine people who were wounded in the attack."
"Valente entered the United States on a student visa through Boston Logan International Airport in 2000 from Portugal. He later became a lawful permanent resident in 2017. Authorities said Valente was believed to have attended Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal, the same university where the slain MIT professor, Nuno F.G. Loureiro, studied physics. Loureiro, 47, was found shot in his home in Brookline, Massachusetts, on Monday night and was pronounced dead Tuesday morning."
Police identified Claudio Neves Valente, 48, as the suspect in a deadly Brown University shooting that killed two students and wounded nine. He left the campus and evaded police for days before traveling to Brookline, Massachusetts, where he shot MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro, 47, who was found dead in his home. Valente was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot inside a Salem, New Hampshire, storage unit. Valente briefly studied physics at Brown in 2000–2001, entered the U.S. on a student visa from Portugal in 2000, and became a lawful permanent resident in 2017.
