2025 Brown University shooting, the suspect in the mass shooting at Brown University and the killing of Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno Loureiro, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a New Hampshire storage facility. An autopsy determined he died two days before his body was discovered. Valente, a Portuguese national and former Brown University graduate student, allegedly killed two students, 2025 Brown University shooting and Mukhammadaziz Umurzokov, and wounded nine others at Brown University, then fatally shot Nuno Loureiro at his Boston-area home. The motive for the attacks remains unclear. Following the revelations about Valente's immigration status, Donald Trump suspended the green card lottery program that allowed Valente to reside in the United States, with Kristi Noem announcing the suspension of the diversity visa program. The investigation, led by Oscar Perez, Peter Neronha, and Leah B. Foley, utilized a crucial tip from a witness and surveillance footage to track Valente.
