Brown University Shooting: FBI Chief Releases Timeline Video Of ‘Person Of Interest’ Amid Manhunt

The Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI) Kash Patel on Tuesday shared a video timeline which documented the movements of the “person of interest” (PoI) in the Brown University shooting. This appeared to be a different “person of interest” (PoI) after authorities released a man they had previously detained.

The FBI has announced a $50,000 reward for information regarding the PoI. Rhode Island attorney general Peter Neronha told US broadcaster CNN on Monday that the person who shot students appearing for exams at Brown University campus in Providence is considered likely to be armed and dangerous.

Two students died and several others were injured in the shooting.

“The @FBI, in coordination with the @ProvidenceRIPD and @RIStatePolice, is releasing a video timeline showing the movements of a person of interest in the 12/13 shooting at Brown University,” Patel wrote on X, sharing the video. “The FBl is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual responsible.”

Investigators have been canvassing Providence homes, yards and dumpsters in search of clues that might help them figure out who was behind Saturday’s campus shooting, which killed two students and wounded nine others.

In all of the videos made public, the suspect’s face was masked or turned away, and authorities have only been able to give a vague description of him as being stocky and about 5 feet, 8 inches (173 centimeters) tall.

Surveillance video the FBI posted online before it was removed showed a person in dark clothing walking along multiple sidewalks for about an hour starting shortly after 2 p.m. Saturday. The streets were all within a few blocks of the Brown University engineering building where the shooting occurred.

Some clips show a person of interest walking in front of some properties multiple times. In one, the person abruptly turns around and runs in the other direction when someone else approaches.

Two clips taken minutes after the 4:03 p.m. shooting show the person walking away from a parking lot and then along a street.
