Overview
- Brookline police released a 96-page report that reconstructs the Dec. 15 shooting of MIT physicist Nuno Loureiro at his home and the subsequent investigation.
- The report says Loureiro’s 12-year-old daughter encountered a man holding a package at the door before hearing three to four gunshots as her father went to answer it.
- Detectives recovered six spent shell casings in the foyer and documented ballistic damage, noting the absence of exterior cameras at the building and on the street.
- Surveillance described the suspect vehicle circling neighborhood streets before the attack and captured movements earlier that day near Boston University, as well as the getaway route afterward.
- Investigators identified the suspect as Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, linked to the Brown University mass shooting, who died by suicide on Dec. 18 in a Salem, New Hampshire storage unit, while no official motive has been announced.
