Nuno F Gomes Loureiro, 47, a nuclear science and engineering professor from Portugal, was shot "multiple times" on Monday and died on Tuesday morning in hospital, according to Brookline police and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) officials.
Police said officers responded to a call for gunshots at an apartment at about 8:30pm local time. Loureiro was taken by ambulance to a Boston hospital, where he died on Tuesday morning.
No one is in custody and police are treating the incident as "an active and ongoing homicide investigation", the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office said.
CBS News, the BBC's US media partner, reported that a neighbor said he heard "three loud bangs" Monday evening and thought somebody in the apartment building was kicking in a door.
Long-time resident Anne Greenwald told CBS that the professor had a young family and went to school nearby.
Loureiro majored in Physics at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon in 2000 and obtained a Phd in physics at Imperial College London in 2005, according to his faculty web page.
The theoretical physicist and fusion scientist was known for his award-winning research in magnetised plasma dynamics.
The guy was Portuguese, but lived and worked here. Also apparently pro-Israel, according to social media.
Strange world man, strange world.

At the risk of sounding conspiratorial, maybe some foreign country that is in competition with us is trying to remove some of our brainpower.
Fusion scientist. There is your answer. Maybe getting to close to solutions?
