Overview
- Prosecutors published English translations of four short videos recorded in Portuguese in which Valente says he planned the Brown attack for “six semesters” and shows no remorse.
- Authorities say the search for a motive continues and that evidence to date indicates no ongoing public safety threat tied to the shootings.
- The FBI recovered the device during a Dec. 18 search of a Salem, New Hampshire storage unit; officials released transcripts but not the raw video files.
- Two students were killed and nine wounded in the Dec. 13 Brown University shooting, and MIT professor Nuno F. G. Loureiro was killed two days later in Brookline, incidents investigators linked to Valente.
- Investigators tied Valente to both scenes using surveillance, a rental car trail, and firearms forensics, and the DOJ says the videos add admissions but not a rationale.
