🇺🇸⚡️ - Brookline PD press conference has begun.

🇺🇸🇵🇹⚡️- “Neves-Valente studied at Brown University in Providence, RI, on an F-1 Visa, around 2000-2001. He eventually obtained legal permanent residence status.”

🇺🇸🇵🇹⚡️- “Previously, he attended the same academic program as the MIT professor, Nuno Loureiro, in Portugal between 1995 and 2000.”

🇺🇸🇵🇹⚡️- “On December 1st, he rented a gray Nissan Sentra with Florida plates from a car-rental agency in Boston.

That same day he drove to the vicinity of Brown University, where his car was observed, intermittently, between December 1st and December 12th.”

🇺🇸🇵🇹⚡️- What we know is that Claudio Neves-Valente the Brown & MIT professor suspect, a 48-year-old permanent resident living in Miami, Florida, rented a storage locker and a Nissan vehicle in Massachusetts. From there, he carried out the Brown University mass shooting in the same building where he had studied and attended school at Brown years earlier. He then drove the vehicle back to Massachusetts and, two days later, killed Nuno Loureiro, a nuclear scientist and MIT professor, in his building. The two attended the same university in Portugal, though the nature of their relationship remains unclear.

Without the help of a good Samaritan who noticed Neves-Valente inside a bathroom at the Barus and Holley building hours earlier, found his behavior suspicious, chased him away, and wrote down his license plate, authorities admit they would have had no leads.

Rerum Novarum has consistently maintained that suspects should not be identified without accurate evidence, and other accounts should do the same.
