Brown University Manhunt Intensifies as Police Analyze DNA and Publish Movement Map

Investigators are examining DNA and other physical evidence while urging residents to share verified video that could help identify a masked person seen near the scene.

Overview

  • Six days after the Dec. 13 classroom attack that killed two students and injured nine, the gunman remains at large and the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest.
  • Police released enhanced images and video of a masked person of interest and a map tracing confirmed streets the individual walked before and after the shooting, and they asked residents to review home and vehicle cameras.
  • Authorities also shared photos of a separate individual who was in proximity to the person of interest and said they want to identify and speak with that person.
  • Forensic teams recovered 9mm shell casings, live ammunition, and DNA from the scene, which are now under analysis; no weapon has been found and no motive has been established.
  • Officials say limited camera coverage in the older part of the Barus & Holley building has complicated the probe, and they cautioned against misinformation as they review a possible link to the Brookline killing of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro that has not been confirmed.
