16 Dec
Summary
- Authorities offer $50,000 reward for information leading to arrest.
- New surveillance footage released shows a suspect near campus.
- Two students were killed and one injured in the recent shooting.
An intense manhunt is underway for a suspect in a recent shooting at Brown University, with authorities offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Investigators have released new surveillance footage depicting a male individual, described as 5'8" with a stocky build, walking near the campus shortly after the incident occurred. The suspect is considered armed and dangerous, prompting widespread concern.
The shooting tragically claimed the lives of two students and injured another, intensifying public scrutiny over the handling of the case by federal and local law enforcement. Despite releasing new evidence, including video clips, identifying the individual has proven challenging, leading to frustration within the community and among victims' families. Previously, a person of interest was detained but later released.
In response to the ongoing threat, public schools in Providence have canceled after-school activities, and several colleges, including Ivy League institutions, have bolstered security measures. The investigation remains active, with FBI agents and police meticulously searching the area for any overlooked evidence as the community remains on edge.
