Authorities have discovered evidence potentially linking the Brown University shooting and the killing of an MIT professor, according to WPRI.
Just two days after the horrific Brown shooting, MIT professor Nuno Loureiro was shot multiple times inside his home.
Loureiro’s home is about 50 miles from Providence, Rhode Island, where the Brown shooting took place.
“Senior law enforcement officials tell Target 12 that federal, state and local authorities are now examining possible ties between the two crimes,” WPRI reported.
“Multiple people familiar with the investigation said they have discovered evidence showing the two may be linked.”
Loureiro was shot and killed in his home. The suspect remains at large.
Loureiro was named head of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT last year.
