Excerpt:
The Brown University shooting case is closed, but the real hero isn’t the fancy tech or the feds—it’s “John,” a homeless man whose street smarts and guts cracked it wide open. Claudio Neves-Valente, 48, a Portuguese national and former Brown student, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a Salem, New Hampshire, storage unit on Thursday, December 18, 2025. He was the suspect behind the December 13 attack that killed two students and wounded nine at Brown, and also the murder of MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro in Brookline, Massachusetts, on December 15. Neves-Valente, a green card holder since 2017, used a Nissan Sentra for both crimes, swapping plates to evade tracking. His suicide ended a six-day manhunt, but the story of how he was identified is a tale of unlikely heroism.
Curious when the tip was posted? Also, did the tipster just post it on Reddit, or did he also drop a dime by calling it in?
