The suspect in two fatal shootings, including an attack at Brown University and the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor, was found dead Thursday, officials announced.

At a news conference Thursday evening, Col. Oscar Perez, the Providence police chief, identified the suspect as Claudio Neves Valente, who was a former student at Brown.

“He was a 48-year-old man. He was a Brown student. He was a Portuguese national, and his last known address was in Miami, Florida. And I will tell you that he took his own life tonight,” Perez said.

The man appears to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Perez said. He was found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility.

Perez spoke about how the suspect had been identified after a different person of interest who had been taken into custody was released after further investigation earlier this week.

“It was all about groundwork, public assistance, interviews of individuals, and good old-fashioned policing,” Perez said.“We looked at financial records, we looked at video footage.”

He said that in this case, the crucial tip came from a video, which Perez said “provided us with a description of a vehicle.”

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that the breakthrough in the case came from an individual in proximity to the suspect who helped identify the vehicle and “blow the lid” off the case.

“When you crack it, you crack it. That person led us to the car, led us to the name,” Neronha said.

The Dec. 13 shooting at Brown University left two dead and nine injured. It occurred in the afternoon during final exams at the university’s engineering building.

The two students fatally wounded in the attack include Ella Cook, vice president of the College Republicans at Brown and a native of Mountain Brook, Alabama, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, an Uzbek national.

Neronha said that the motives for the Brown shooting are still unclear.

“We don’t know why now, why Brown, why these students and why this classroom,” he said.

In addition, investigators now suspect Valente in connection with the shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro in his Brookline home on Dec. 15.

The FBI had previously found no connection between the two.

Loureiro, 47, was a theoretical physicist and fusion scientist from Portugal.

The two are believed to have attended the same university in Portugal, according to officials.

Brown University officials have emphasized that Valente had no current association with the school, despite having previously attended.

According to Brown University President Christina Paxson, Valente had been enrolled at the school several decades ago for a short time, attending from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001.

“He has no current affiliation with the university,” Paxson said.

The investigation into the shooting drew local frustration in Providence after investigators failed to quickly apprehend the suspect, drawing the investigation into a days-long manhunt.

Authorities, during the days-long manhunt, also released a person of interest.

The university has suspended the regular schedule for end-of-term exams and other final assessments in the wake of the tragedy.

By Michael Katz    |   Tuesday, 16 December 2025 10:18 PM EST

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/gavin-newsom-california-susan-monarez/2025/12/16/id/1238620/

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday announced a new public health initiative and tapped two former senior officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who clashed with the Trump administration to lead the effort.

Newsom named former CDC Director Susan Monarez and former CDC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Debra Houry to run the Public Health Network Innovation Exchange, or PHNIX.

According to his office, the initiative aims to strengthen public health systems; bolster confidence in evidence-based policy; improve disease detection and investigation; and build a modern backbone linking data, technology, and funding across states.

"By bringing on expert scientific leaders to partner in this launch, we're strengthening collaboration and laying the groundwork for a modern public health infrastructure that will offer trust and stability in scientific data not just across California, but nationally and globally," Newsom said in a statement.

Monarez was fired by the White House in late August after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sought to remove her from her position and she resisted. Houry resigned partly in protest over Monarez's firing.

Both later testified at a tense Senate hearing in September.

Monarez reportedly said she refused Kennedy's demands that she fire top scientists at the agency and approve new vaccine recommendations before reviewing evidence to support them.

Houry testified that Kennedy "censored CDC science, politicized its processes, and stripped leaders of independence."

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Newsmax that Monarez's testimony showed she was "not on the same team" as Kennedy.

Jason Miller, a former senior adviser to President Donald Trump, told Newsmax that Houry and other CDC officials who resigned following Monarez's firing were "Democrat activists."

Newsom has sought to elevate his national profile as a leading Democrat critic of Trump and to position himself for a possible 2028 presidential run.

The governor, who is barred by term limits from seeking a third term, has also worked to cast California as a focal point of resistance to the Trump administration.

Newsom's office said the new initiative would build on previously announced public health partnerships, including the West Coast Health Alliance — which includes state and local officials from California, Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii — and the Governors Public Health Alliance, a 15-state coalition aimed at coordinating global situational awareness.

Although Newsom said the effort is "not a shadow CDC we're creating but a shield to what's going on," Democrat strategist Garry South told the Washington Examiner that "it has all the hallmarks of a government-in-exile."

Steve Hilton, who is seeking the Republican nomination for California governor next year, told the Examiner the move is "absolutely sickening from the guy who imposed on California the longest, most destructive, most cruel lockdowns that destroyed opportunity for an entire generation of kids in California, who are still suffering the consequences, because he refused to listen and to follow science and instead imposed his political ideology over the facts around COVID."

"And then to turn around and position himself as the champion of science and rationality when it comes to disease just turns your stomach," Hilton said.
