highlights a breaking development in the Brown University shooting case: A homeless man named "John" (reportedly a former Brown University student) played a pivotal role in cracking the investigation through a Reddit post.Key Details:

• On December 13, 2025, hours before the shooting at Brown's Barus and Holley building (which killed two students and injured nine others), John encountered the suspect, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente (a 48-year-old Portuguese national and former Brown physics graduate student from 2000–2001), in a bathroom.
• Suspicious of Valente's behavior and inadequate clothing for the weather, John followed him outside, confronted him about circling the block, and noted a gray Nissan rental car with Florida plates.
• After the shooting, John posted details on Reddit (including the vehicle description, which hadn't been publicly released), urging police to investigate it. Reddit users encouraged him to contact authorities, and he did—eventually calling the tip line and referencing his own post.
• This tip "blew the case wide open" (per Rhode Island AG Peter Neronha): Police traced the rental car to a Boston agency, obtained footage identifying Valente, linked him to the Brown shooting, and connected him to the subsequent murder of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro (a former classmate from Portugal) two days later.
• Valente was found dead on December 18, 2025, in a New Hampshire storage unit from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as authorities closed in.
• John, who reportedly slept in the basement of the shooting building (exposing major campus security flaws), is eligible for the FBI's $50,000 reward and has been hailed as a hero.

The story underscores irony: Poor university security allowed both a homeless individual and the shooter easy access, yet John's vigilance helped solve the case. Multiple sources (CBS, NYT, BBC, etc.) confirm these details.
