Brown University Shooting Manhunt Enters Day 6 as Police Find DNA and Expand Search Map

Investigators seek public help to identify a person seen near the masked figure captured on surveillance.

Overview

  • Providence police say DNA and fingerprints recovered from 9mm shell casings are undergoing forensic analysis.
  • A newly released map and videos trace a stocky, masked person of interest across College Hill before and after the 4:05 p.m. attack, and police believe he cased the area for hours.
  • Authorities are asking the public to help identify a separate individual seen in proximity to the person of interest and to share doorbell, dashcam, or vehicle footage from the past week.
  • The FBI is offering up to $50,000 for information leading to identification, arrest, and prosecution as hundreds of tips come in and the canvass extends into Fox Point.
  • No suspect, firearm, or motive has been confirmed; officials note limited camera coverage in the older classroom area and urge against AI‑altered images and doxxing.
