Brown University's head of public safety, Rodney Chatman, was placed on administrative leave Monday after a janitor revealed that he saw a suspicious person lurking around campus in the weeks leading up to the December 13 shooting—a person who ended up being the gunman, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente.

The move was included in an email announcing that Brown was launching an external after-action review into the shooting, "including a complete assessment and evaluation of campus safety in the period leading up to the tragedy, the preparedness and response on the date of the shooting, and the emergency management response in the aftermath." It called the review "a standard part of recovery and response following a mass casualty event" and added that it was also conducting a separate campus safety assessment.

Brown University's head of public safety, Rodney Chatman, was placed on administrative leave Monday after a janitor revealed that he saw a suspicious person lurking around campus in the weeks leading up to the December 13 shooting—a person who ended up being the gunman, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente.

The move was included in an email announcing that Brown was launching an external after-action review into the shooting, "including a complete assessment and evaluation of campus safety in the period leading up to the tragedy, the preparedness and response on the date of the shooting, and the emergency management response in the aftermath." It called the review "a standard part of recovery and response following a mass casualty event" and added that it was also conducting a separate campus safety assessment.













Both Brown and Providence authorities faced significant criticism over their response to the shooting, which killed two people and injured nine. The university waited nearly 20 minutes before sending out an emergency alert and never sounded its sirens. Chatman himself is no stranger to scrutiny, having faced two votes of no confidence this year, and officers accused him of ignoring complaints that his department had failed to adequately respond to shooting and bomb threats. He joined Brown in 2021 after his predecessor resigned amid calls from student activists to abolish police.

On Monday, Brown janitor Derek Lisi told the Boston Globe that in the weeks leading up to the December 13 shooting, he saw a suspicious person nearly a dozen times "circling the hallways," peering into classrooms, and hiding in bathrooms to avoid being noticed. Lisi believed the individual was trying to steal something, noting that the person paid attention to one room in particular. That room, it later turned out, was where Neves Valente carried out his attack.

"He'd been casing that place for weeks," Lisi said. "I knew there was something off with him."

He was one of the DEI hires that had a vote of no confidence placed on him by the union a couple months before the shooting.
