Authorities have identified Claudio Neves Valente as the suspect in a mass shooting at Brown University and the killing of an MIT professor. Neves Valente is originally from Portugal. He and MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro were in the same academic program in Portugal before Neves Valente attended Brown. On Thursday, Neves Valente was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in New Hampshire. Authorities have not provided a motive, and Neves Valente's life remains largely a mystery. As a high school student, he competed in a national physics competition in 1994, coming in third place, according to a Portuguese physics magazine.

Officials say a man who is suspected in last weekend’s mass shooting at Brown University and in the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility. Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez says 48-year-old Claudio Neves Valente was found dead Thursday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Neves Valente is a former Brown student and Portuguese national. Perez says they believe the suspect acted alone. U.S. attorney for Massachusetts Leah B. Foley says Neves Valente and MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro attended the same academic program in Portugal between 1995 and 2000.
