US university killer's mystery motive sought after suicideListen to this articleClaudio Neves Valente, the suspect in the Brown University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) shootings, at an Alamo rental car location in Boston. No motive has been made public for any of the killings, which cast a long shadow on two of New England's normally genteel elite universities. Investigators struggled to produce viable leads in the days after the incidents, with President Donald Trump attacking Brown University for failing to link its security cameras to police systems. During the protracted manhunt, dozens of names surfaced on social media and elsewhere in connection with the shooting -- almost all false and unlinked to the bloodshed. Officers were directed to a post on the social media forum site that told investigators to probe a grey Nissan SUV.
