A man suspected of killing two people and wounding nine others at Brown University before going on to kill a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility, officials said.
Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a Portuguese national and former Brown student, was found dead on Thursday evening from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez said at a news conference. He added that investigators believed the suspect had acted alone.
US Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley said Neves Valente had also killed MIT physics professor Nuno FG Loureiro, who was shot in his home on Monday, two days after the attack at Brown.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has ordered the suspension of the green card lottery programme at President Donald Trump’s direction, saying it had enabled the suspect to enter the US.
