What do Channel2 NOW and Channel3Now have in common?

On the evening of December 18, 2025 the law enforcement authorities announced the discovery of the lifeless body of the shooter that left two students dead and nine others wounded at Brown University on December 13, 2025, and who had also gunned down an MIT Professor at Brookline, Massachusetts on December 15, 2025. The gunman was identified as Cláudio Manuel Neves-Valente, a 48-year-old former graduate student of  Brown University. I was dumbfounded by the news, therefore I searched online for more information about the unusual case.

Brown University Shooting Suspect Identified as 48-year-old Cláudio Manuel Neves-Valente

on December 18, 2025

By Channel2 NOW Staff

Authorities have identified the suspect connected to both the Brown University mass shooting in Rhode Island and the fatal shooting of MIT professor Nuno F. G. Loureiro in Massachusetts as Cláudio Manuel Neves-Valente, 48, according to law enforcement sources.

Investigators say Neves-Valente was found deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside an Extra Space Storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire, bringing the multistate manhunt to an end

.

Law enforcement officials confirmed that the suspect had a storage unit registered in his name at the same facility where an abandoned vehicle linked to the investigation was previously located.

Prior to the discovery of his body, authorities had not entered the unit. Surveillance footage reportedly showed Neves-Valente entering the storage complex, though it was initially unclear whether he exited before being found deceased.

Sources further stated that Neves-Valente was not a U.S. citizen, but a lawful permanent resident originally from Portugal.

Investigators noted that the MIT professor who was killed, Dr. Loureiro, was also from Portugal, though officials have not publicly stated whether that factored into the motive. Authorities have cautioned that the investigation into motive remains ongoing.

Brown University is reportedly removing a student profile for someone with that name amid the ongoing manhunt but there’s no official statement from Brown or law enforcement tying that person to the shooter. 

⚠️ Question remains: Is this the suspect or is speculation outrunning verified facts?

The two people who were killed in a shooting at Brown University on Saturday have been identified as students Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov.

The shooting took place in a classroom on the university's campus in Providence, Rhode Island, on Saturday evening, according to authorities. At least nine other people were wounded.

Authorities have released photos and videos of a possible suspect and offered a reward as the manhunt continues. The school said in a statement that "local police have advised they do not believe there is any immediate threat to Brown or the local community."

Many students stopped by a makeshift memorial to remember the victims before leaving for winter break. 

"It's just heartbreaking for the community, we're all really in shock right now," student Jack Cox told CBS News Boston.
