Overview
- FBI agents found four short Portuguese-language videos on a device seized from the Salem, New Hampshire storage unit where Claudio Neves Valente was discovered dead on Dec. 18.
- In the transcripts, Valente says he planned the Brown University attack for at least six semesters and identified the school as his intended target.
- Prosecutors say he showed no remorse, fixated on an eye injury he suffered, and dismissed mental illness as a cause.
- Investigators have linked him to the Dec. 13 Brown shooting that killed Ella Cook and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov and wounded nine, and to the Dec. 15 killing of MIT professor Nuno F. G. Loureiro.
- Federal officials say the search for a motive continues and that current evidence indicates no continuing threat to public safety.
