Transcript shows suspect in Brown and M.I.T. killings left videos before death
Federal law enforcement officials released a transcript of videos left by Claudio Neves Valente, the suspect in shootings that killed two students at Brown University and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor. The videos, recorded in Portuguese and translated to English, were found on Mr.
Neves Valente’s devices and were made before he took his own life in a storage facility in Salem, N.H., the transcript shows. In one of the recordings he said, “I am not going to apologize,” and told investigators he had no second thoughts about what he had done, according to the transcript.
The account in the transcript is joined by security and traffic footage that shows Mr. Neves Valente lingering near Brown’s East Side campus for nearly two weeks before bursting into a lecture hall in the Barus and Holley science building on Dec. 13 and firing with a handgun fitted with a laser sight; investigators found 44 spent shell casings.
Two students, MukhammadAziz Umurzokov and Ella Cook, died and nine others were wounded. After escaping, he crossed into Massachusetts and, on Dec. 15, fatally shot M.I.T. professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro at his Brookline home; the two had been classmates at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, authorities said.
