Source: Los Angeles Times

A man who is suspected of killing two and wounding several others at Brown University has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The man was found dead Thursday evening.

Investigators believe the man is responsible for both the shooting at Brown and the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who was fatally shot in his Brookline home Monday, the official said. Authorities have not formally confirmed a connection between the two shootings.

The official could not publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

I wonder if the forensics will find that he was the killer.

It is of little solace to the grieving families of the murder victims, but I’d be pleased if this was the right guy out of circulation.

and the MIT professor was Portuguese.

Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a Brown student and Portuguese national, was found dead Thursday evening from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Col. Oscar Perez, the Providence police chief, said at a news conference.

The Brown University president, Christina Paxson, said Valente was enrolled at Brown from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001. He was admitted to the graduate school to study physics beginning in September 2000. “He has no current affiliation with the university,” she said.

Ted Docks, FBI special agent in charge of Boston, told reporters that authorities thought the suspect attended the same university in Lisbon as the MIT professor.

Peter Neronha, the attorney general of Rhode Island, said the suspect obtained lawful permanent resident status in September 2017.

He gained legal American status and started acting just like they do. They should see him as a success story for their cause.
