The United States Police identified this Thursday a 48 year old Portuguese citizen as the main suspect shooting that occurred at Brown University. After five days of searching, the agents found the alleged perpetrator of the attack with a gunshot wound which they consider to have been self-inflicted.
The suspect was identified as Claudio Neves Valenteof Portuguese nationality and former student at the educational center, and was found dead in a warehouse in the state of New Hampshire, according to the State Police during a press conference.
Following the announcement, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley told reporters that “tonight our neighbors in Providence will be able to breathe a little easier.”

Authorities indicated that they tracked the suspect to a car rental agency in Massachusetts and later to the warehouse in New Hampshire, where he was found dead. along with a wallet and two firearms. The Providence Police Chief pointed out that the main hypothesis is that Neves acted alone.
According to preliminary information from the Prosecutor’s Office, Neves is suspected of having been the author of the attack that caused the death of two studentsElla Cook, from Alabama, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, of Uzbek-American origin. Nine other people were injured in the event.
Brown University President Christina Paxson noted that the suspect was enrolled at the institution between 2000 and 2001 as a graduate student in Physics. “It is logical to assume that this man, as a student, spent a lot of time in the building where the shooting occurred,” he said.
Investigators believe Neves is responsible for both the Brown shooting and the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, Nuno FG Loureirotwo days later at his home in Brookline, nearly 50 miles away, according to Massachusetts prosecutor Leah B. Foley.
Neves and Loureiro took the same academic program at a Portuguese university between 1995 and 2000, according to Foley. The same year the professor graduated, the shooter was fired from his position at the University of Lisbon, according to the files of the center’s then-rector.
