MIT Professor Shot and Killed in His Boston Area Home
“This is an active and ongoing homicide investigation”
Authorities are saying this is not related to the shootings at Brown University. It’s still shocking.
CBS News reports:
MIT professor Nuno Loureiro killed in shooting at his Brookline, Massachusetts home
MIT professor Nuno Loureiro was killed in a shooting at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts Monday night, the school confirmed. Loureiro, a nuclear science and engineering professor from Portugal, was 47 years old.
A Brookline police spokesperson said officers responded to a call for gunshots at an apartment on Gibbs Street at about 8:30 p.m.
“A victim was located who had been shot multiple times,” Brookline police deputy superintendent Paul Campbell told WBZ-TV.
Loureiro was taken by ambulance to a Boston hospital, where he died Tuesday morning. No other information about the shooting was immediately released and authorities did not say if they are looking for a suspect. Campbell said no one is in custody.
“This is an active and ongoing homicide investigation,” Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s office said in a statement.
Brookline Police Chief Jennifer Paster said patrol cars and unmarked units will be in the Gibbs Street neighborhood during the investigation.
“In order to protect the integrity of the investigation, we are limited in the information we can share at this time and ask for the community’s understanding and patience,” Chief Paster said.

How far from Brown is MIT?
just a shot away
a shot away
about 50 miles
About 50 miles. Drove it every weekend for years (actually, slightly past Brown).
In order to protect the integrity of the investigation, we are limited in the information we can share at this time and ask for the community’s understanding and patience,” Chief Paster said.
or of course
until we can make sure the agenda of the murderer is known to us..we will control the information that the sheep are allowed
Just like they controlled the Covenant tranny’s manifesto and the Warren Commission’s evidence files — either until the sun shall cease to shine, or someone with righteous balls leaks it to the people.
we can only hope
and leaking balls not usually a good thing but in this case I agree
I’ve read this guy is Jewish, Not sure why he specifically was targeted, There are a lot of Jewish professors around Boston. Targeted is probably the optimal word here too.
I’ve read it too, at scattered low-reliability sites, but the guy was born in Portugal and has an extremely Portuguese name.
He does have a Jewish look you don’t tend to see with Portuguese.
He’s not Jewish.
Some people took poor sourcing and ran with it.
This and some other places lay it out. This is a more liberal Jewish site, but it is accurate in this case.

Yes, he was Sephardic Jewish. And he was pro-Israel.
And your evidence for this? Nonexistent.
Unsurprisingly, in-depth coverage of this crime has been lacking; it’s the new normal.
The rumor mills I have been following is that it might be more related to the nature of his research group in plasma and fusion physics (read, energy). Sometimes it is what you know.
