Authorities announced that the suspect wanted in last weekend’s mass shooting at Brown University was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a New Hampshire storage facility, and investigators tied him to the killing of an MIT professor. Law enforcement identified Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown graduate student, as the person of interest; officials said the evidence links him to the Providence campus attack that left two students dead and nine injured and to the slaying of MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro. Federal and local investigators said Valente acted alone and described a complex multi-state probe that relied on surveillance video, public tips and interagency cooperation. Brown University officials confirmed Valente had attended graduate studies there in 2000–01 but had no current affiliation. The conclusion of the manhunt brings immediate questions about motive, campus security procedures, and vetting of former students. The case also prompted policy actions at the federal level, including a temporary suspension of the diversity visa lottery announced by the administration.
