The U.S. Department of Justice Tuesday released the transcript of videos made by Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, the now late man accused of the mass shooting at Brown University and the homicide of an MIT professor in Brookline, Mass.
The department said, that, with its law enforcement partners, it has been “actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding” the murders at Brown University and the killing of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro in Brookline.
The shooting at Brown University on Dec. 13 came during final exams week when Neves Valente, a Portuguese national and former student, allegedly killed two students and wounded nine others, according to authorities.
“The investigation into these horrific acts remains ongoing,” the department said in a statement.

“In these videos, Neves Valente admitted that he had been planning the Brown University shooting for a long time. Although Neves Valente stated that Brown University was his intended target, based on initial review of the evidence collected, he did not provide a motive for targeting students at Brown University or the professor at MIT,” the department said.

“Neves Valente showed no remorse during the recordings; on the contrary, he exposed his true nature when he blamed innocent, unarmed children for their deaths at his hand and grumbled about a self-inflicted injury he suffered when he shot the MIT professor at close range,” the DOJ statement said.
The DOJ said investigators had in December executed a federal search warrant at a storage facility used by Valente, the Portuguese “national responsible for the senseless murders.” It was during the search of the storage facility, that the FBI recovered the “electronic device containing a series of short videos made by Neves Valente after the shootings.”
“Our investigation into the motives behind Neves Valente’s heinous acts will continue.”
The DOJ also said that, based on the evidence seized and analyzed to date, authorities do not believe there are any ongoing public safety threats associated with the shootings. Additional updates will be provided as further information is developed and following appropriate victim notification.”
