The gunman who killed two students at Brown University was found dead in a storage unit after murdering an MIT professor as their decades-old connection was revealed.
The suspect - 48-year-old Claudio Neves Valente - was revealed to be a Portuguese national who studied at the Ivy League school in Rhode Island more than 20 years ago.
He had attended Brown to pursue a masters of science in physics from 2000 to 2001, before he took a leave of absence and ultimately withdrew from the school.
It remains unclear why Neves Valente opened fire at the Rhode Island school, killing Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18, of Virginia, and Ella Cook, of Alabama, 19.
But University President Christina Paxson said it was likely he took classes inside that building when he attended the school.
Neves Valente opened fire during a study session at the Ivy League's School of Engineering Barus and Holley Building on December 13.
Two days later, he fatally shot MIT Professor Nuno Loureiro inside his Boston home.
Authorities revealed that gunman original target was Loureiro and the pair had attended the same school in Portugal from 1995 to 2000.
It was unclear what the shooter's motive was or what his relationship with Loureiro had been.
The suspect was ultimately found dead after a six-day manhunt, when authorities located a vehicle he used parked outside of a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire - more than 80 miles from the Ivy League school.

And there just happens to be a homeless guy.... who is watching, takes down a license plate and tells the authorities. I think his name was Fed....but who knows?
What has the purported killer been doing for work for the past 20 years?
I din't see anything about that in the affidavit. I suspect that info will come out today since the news only broke last evening.
How Convenient.
I think the Brown people are LYING to us.
He probably IS!
Don’t be so gullible.
I would bet a THOU that he is NOT the Brown murderer!!
WHERE’S MUSTAPHA and WHY DID THE SCRUB HIS INTERNET STUFF!!
Kristi.....he’s the MIT shooter maybe!
That sounds hust a little too tidy for me.
So what he was yelling at Brown was Abrigado not Allu Akhbar?
what kind of expired USA visa did this Portuguese citizen have? ... and why was he still in this country?
Sorry, that doesn’t look like the same body type as the guy who was skulking around at Brown...
According to reports he got his green card in 2017.
Very convenient 😎
Case closed nothing to see here
Sorry WRONG, cross bow bolt😎
I thought that President Trump had eliminated the diversity lottery immigrant visa program in his first term. I wonder if he was unable to get it done or if he did eliminate it by executive order and then Biden brought it back.
Lil’Tommy Crooks approves of this . Poor Tommy, he’s dead and so is the investigation into the Butler Assassination attempt.
