The man identified by law enforcement as the shooter who killed two Brown University students and an MIT professor had been planning the attack for at least six semesters, according to information released on Tuesday by the US Department of Justice.
Claudio Neves Valente, 48, a former Brown student and Portuguese national, was found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility after he killed two students and wounded nine others in an engineering building on December 13.
He also killed MIT professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro in his home in the Boston suburb of Brookline on December 15.
Justice Department officials said on Tuesday that during the search of the storage facility where Neves Valente’s body was found, the FBI recovered an electronic device containing a series of short videos made by Neves Valente after the shootings.
In the recordings, the shooter admits in Portuguese that he had been “planning the Brown University shooting for a long time”, according to a press release.
He did not provide a motive for targeting Brown or the MIT professor, with whom he attended school in Portugal decades ago.
