Overview
- The U.S. Attorney’s Office published English translations of four videos recovered from a Salem, N.H., storage unit searched after Claudio Neves Valente was located dead there.
- In the recordings, Valente admits to the Dec. 13 Brown University attack that killed students Ella Cook and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov and to the Dec. 15 killing of MIT professor Nuno F. G. Loureiro.
- He says he spent at least six semesters planning the campus shooting and had earlier opportunities he did not carry out.
- Prosecutors say he showed no remorse, blamed victims, and complained about an eye injury he said he suffered during the MIT shooting, while offering no motive.
- Investigators continue motive inquiries and report no ongoing public safety threat, noting they linked Valente through surveillance, rental-car records, and a Reddit tip following a witness confrontation.
