Person of Interest Seen in Area Hours Before Shooting Attack at Brown University

Authorities released a $50,000 reward and enhanced video seeking tips to identify the masked suspect in the Brown University mass shooting that killed two and injured nine.

  • On Tuesday, Providence Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation released enhanced video of a person of interest and offered a $50,000 reward for tips.
  • Saturday, the shooting struck the Barus and Holley engineering building during final exams at Brown University, killing two students, Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, and injuring nine others.
  • A six-minute FBI video shows a person of interest about 5 feet 8 inches tall, stocky, masked, wearing a dark two-tone jacket and carrying a bag near campus around 2:00 p.m.
  • Authorities detained an initial person of interest early Sunday and later released them after evidence pointed elsewhere, lifting the hours-long lockdown as Gov. Dan McKee, Governor of Rhode Island, requested more local police at schools.
  • Amid ongoing searches, the FBI Evidence Response Team and federal agents recovered evidence near campus Monday, while the community mourned with a makeshift memorial at Van Wickle gates and planned the Community Service of Lament, Healing and Hope for Tuesday night.
