Brown University shooting: Suspect found dead, is also accused of killing MIT professor

[yuna628 9,937]

Surprised no one has posted about this yet but, the manhunt for the Brown and MIT mass shooter is over.

 

The deceased suspect was a Portuguese national and green card holder.

Once came on an F1 back in the day, quit the PhD program and went back home.

2017 was DV winner and moved to the US.

May have been familiar with the building at Brown from 25 years ago but had nothing to do with economics.

May have known the professor from MIT long ago.

Went through a great deal of trouble to accomplish his crimes, but then killed himself.

Case was cracked by a homeless savant that lives at the college and followed the killer for days. The affidavit was remarkable at just how detailed a witness he was. The police certainly botched things early on and it's a shame that they did not listen to the witness earlier.

DV program now suspended.

What we know about the shooting

• The suspect in the weekend shooting at Brown University is dead, law enforcement officials said.
• Officials said Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, appeared to die from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was found dead in a storage facility in New Hampshire.
• He is also suspected of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor in Brookline, Massachusetts, days after the Rhode Island violence. Officials said it appeared the men attended the same university in Portugal.
• He had no current affiliation with the university but was enrolled at Brown from fall 2000 to spring 2001 in a Ph.D. program.

News reports on this are confusing

some say suspended while others say paused 

i have looked for a white house memo to find which it is but even there ,  white house statements are overlaping and confusing 

 

Gavish Law Group says paused and NBC and other news media say suspended

 

 

for the original countries that are suppose to be under full ban , USCIS on December 17th says 

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/countries-subject-to-visa-bonds.html

 

Any citizen or national traveling on a passport issued by one of these countries, who is found otherwise eligible for a B1/B2 visa, must post a bond for $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000.  The amount is determined at the time of the visa interview.  The applicant must also submit a Department of Homeland Security Form I-352.  Applicants must agree to the terms of the bond through the Department of the Treasury’s online payment platform Pay.gov.  This requirement applies regardless of place of application.

 

and all this is on case-by-case review / it seems not to be black or white but a grey area in all respects with immigration

Honestly, I've never seen the value or sense in the DV program.

IMHO, "Paused" and "suspended" are the same.  "Cancelled" would be permanent.

The WH does not have the power to cancel the program.  IMO, using this case as the reason to suspend DVs is a stretch.  It seems this person had a proverbial screw loose, maintaining some sort of vendetta against the MIT professor for a very long time.  I am not really sure anymore vetting of this guy would have turned anything up.
