Nuno F.G. Loureiro was shot at his home outside Boston on Monday night and died at a hospital on Tuesday.
The search for a suspect intensified following the shooting death of an MIT professor Monday evening. Nuno Loureiro, who was a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, died Tuesday morning after he was shot inside his Brookline home.
The Norfolk District Attorney’s office said the homicide investigation into Loureiro’s death was "active and ongoing" as of Wednesday afternoon. The investigation into the MIT professor's killing comes as Brown University, another prestigious institution just 50 miles away in Providence, Rhode Island, is reeling from an unsolved shooting that killed two students and wounded nine others Saturday. Investigators provided no indication Tuesday that they were any closer to zeroing in on the gunman's identity.The FBI on Tuesday said it knew of no connection between the crimes.Loureiro was a professor in the departments of Nuclear Science & Engineering and Physics. He was also the director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. A 22-year-old student at Boston University who lives near Loureiro's apartment in Brookline told The Boston Globe she heard three loud noises Monday evening and feared it was gunfire. "I had never heard anything so loud, so I assumed they were gunshots," Liv Schachner was quoted as saying. "It’s difficult to grasp. It just seems like it keeps happening."Some of Loureiro's students visited his home, an apartment in a three-story brick building, Tuesday afternoon to pay their respects, the Globe reported.
