A Brown University janitor said he noticed suspicious behavior of the Dec. 13 campus shooting suspect nearly a dozen times over the weeks leading up to the fatal attack.
Derek Lisi, who has served as a custodian at Brown University for 15 years, claims he saw now-deceased Portuguese national Claudio Neves Valente, 48, “pacing the hallways, peering into classrooms, and ducking into a bathroom to avoid being seen,” according to a Tuesday Boston Globe report.
“I had caught him the last time on Dec. 1, and I was right behind him as he was coming in the building,” Lisi said in a recent interview. “I was coming back for my break, and I went right to the staff and I had said to the ESS staff member, ‘Hey, this guy looks suspicious … He just went in the bathroom, you should go check him out.’ He’s like, ‘I’m not here for that.’”
On Dec. 13, Neves Valente allegedly opened fire at Brown University in Providence, R.I., killing two students and wounding nine others. He also allegedly killed Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno Loureiro at Loureiro’s home in Brookline, Mass. two days after the Brown shooting.
