A Brown University<\/a> custodian claims he saw the shooting suspect almost a dozen times in the weeks before the Dec. 13 attack on campus and even alerted a campus security guard.<\/p>\n

Derek Lisi told The Boston Globe<\/a> that he noticed a man pacing the hallways at the Barus and Holley engineering and physics building, looking into classrooms and even at one point ducking behind a bathroom in order to avoid being seen. In total, two were killed and another nine<\/a> people were injured on Dec. 13. Five victims remain at Rhode Island Hospital in stable condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When police shared pictures of the Brown University shooting suspect, Lisi recognized him, saying, “He\u2019d been casing that place for weeks.”<\/p>\n

Lisi told the outlet that he saw a man matching police’s description of the suspect, identified as 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, on about 10 occasions dating back to early January.<\/p>\n

“I knew there was something off with him,” Lisi said.<\/p>\n

In mid-November, Lisi told a security guard at Brown University that he saw the man “circling the hallways.” He said the man was consistently hanging around and peeking into room 166 at the building, where the eventual shooting took place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov<\/u><\/a> were both killed in the shooting. Cook, 19, served as the vice president of the Brown University College Republicans.<\/p>\n

Cook was laid to rest in Birmingham, Alabama,<\/a> on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

“I said, \u2018Something\u2019s off with this guy, so I gotta say something,\u2019” Lisi recalled thinking when he saw the man on Dec. 1 before going on vacation. “I told my friend, \u2018I hope it\u2019s not the guy I\u2019ve been seeing. I hope it\u2019s not.”<\/p>\n

Lisi said he spoke with Providence Police<\/a> on Dec. 15.<\/p>\n

The custodian claimed that the Barus and Holley engineering and physics building has been “a free-for-all for a long time.”<\/p>\n

“Anybody could just come in,” he added.<\/p>\n
