A Brown University custodian spotted depraved gunman Claudio Neves Valente pacing school hallways and peering into classrooms nearly a dozen times in the weeks before his mass shooting — and alerted campus security twice about the suspicious figure, a new report said.
Derek Lisi, who has worked at the elite school for 15 years, told the Boston Globe he “knew something was off with” the mass shooter before the sicko opened fire in a lecture hall, killing two students, Dec. 13. While Lisi said he twice told the same security guard about a suspicious person lurking around the same building in the days leading up to the horror, it’s unclear if any action was taken by the guard or campus officials.
“He’d been casing that place for weeks,’’ looking into classrooms and “circling the hallways,’’ Lisi told the outlet of Neves Valente.

Janitors see and know all yet the higher ups think they are just janitors
I sometimes think wokism is embraced by large institutions because it removes basic accountability in the fundamental execution of their basic job. Woke and incompetence are necessarily compatible and the leaders are quite OK with this arrangement.
I would think he would have passed a camera with a good view during his casing of the place.
So do Syrian cab drivers circling JFK.
Maybe this is the part of the story they use to clinch their narrative.
He was employed by Brown U. for 15 years.
He was identified by the news media as a homeless person living in the basement of the building!
The seven wounded students and the families of the two dead students will get HUGE settlements after this disclosure.
There were no security cameras in the building where the shooting took place; a mere coincidence, I’m sure.
Well that effing figures.
Good Will Hunting, Brown edition.
This campus police force is led by Rodney Chapman, who was on leave during allegations at his past job in Utah in 2020 but given the chance to leave voluntarily, which he did, and was hired by Brown in 2021. Allegations were dropped.
Votes of No Confidence: In October 2025, two campus police unions issued unanimous votes of no confidence in Chatman and Deputy Chief John Vinson, citing low morale, a toxic workplace culture, high turnover, and concerns about their ability to handle serious threats.
Union leaders and former officers have alleged that the department, under Chatman’s leadership, mishandled past threats, including a bomb threat and a shooting threat, by failing to notify local police in a timely manner.
He also came under scrutiny and criticism for placing a heavy emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives at the perceived expense of traditional, robust security measures.

The shooter actually went to classes in that building, in 2000 and 2001.
They removed the cameras so they wouldn’t help ICE.
The class room building is on the perimeter of Brown property.
The side walk and city street on one side are where Brown U. property ends.
According to the janitor, the shooter parked his car behind a building right across that street.

Janitors and Vegas security guards and homeless.
In my experience in academics, the janitors often are the higher ups when it comes to having a clue.
Looks like the janitor and homeless man were more observant than the police.
