In a shocking incident on a Saturday during final exams, a shooter dressed in black entered a Brown University classroom, killing two students and wounding nine others.
Fifth Day of the Manhunt
The search for the individual responsible has continued for five days. Investigators have broadened their search area and are actively canvassing the Providence region.
FBI Reward Offered
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has announced a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the shooter. The offer is part of the ongoing effort to locate the suspect.
New Video Timeline and Suspect Image
Authorities released a new video timeline on Tuesday, which includes a slightly clearer image of a possible suspect. The image shows a person in dark clothing, but the face remains masked or turned away.
Public Asked for Footage
The FBI and local police are asking anyone who may have captured the incident on camera to come forward. Footage that shows the shooter or the suspect’s movements could be crucial.
Suspect Description
Based on the available footage, officials describe the suspect as stocky and about 5‑foot‑8 tall. No other identifying features are currently available.
Canvassing Around Providence
Officers have been walking the streets around Providence, looking for clues that could help identify the shooter. The search is focused on areas within a few blocks of the engineering building where the shooting occurred.
Surveillance Video Details
A surveillance clip posted online before being removed shows a person in dark clothing walking along multiple sidewalks for roughly an hour, starting shortly after 2 p.m. on the day of the shooting.
Proximity to the Engineering Building
The streets in the video are all within a few blocks of the Brown University engineering building. This proximity suggests the suspect was nearby during the incident.
Behavior in the Video
Some clips show the person walking in front of several properties repeatedly. In one instance, the individual abruptly turns around and runs in the opposite direction when approached.
Post‑Shooting Footage
Two clips taken minutes after the shooting show the person walking away from a parking lot and then along a street. These movements were captured before the suspect was taken into custody.
Release of a Person of Interest
A person of interest was taken into custody on Sunday morning. Authorities released the individual later that night after determining the evidence pointed “in a different direction.”
