Claudio Neves Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese national and former Brown University and MIT graduate student, was found dead in a New Hampshire storage unit after a week-long manhunt. An autopsy revealed that Valente died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head two days before his body was discovered. Valente was identified as the suspect in a shooting at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine others, and later shot and killed MIT professor Nuno Loureiro at his home. The motives behind the attack remain unclear, with authorities stating that they have no idea why Valente targeted Brown University or the specific victims.

The suspect in the Brown University and M.I.T. killings, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, died two days before his body was found in a storage unit in New Hampshire. An autopsy revealed that he died from a gunshot wound to the head, likely a suicide. Neves Valente was accused of killing two students and injuring nine others at Brown University, and later killing an M.I.T. professor with whom he had studied in Portugal. Investigators found two 9-millimeter pistols in the storage unit, which were matched to the guns used in the shootings through forensic testing. The investigation was aided by a tipster who posted on Reddit about a suspicious person on Brown's campus, leading police to identify Neves Valente and locate the storage unit.
