BREAKING UPDATE: FBI releases new images of Brown shooting suspect, offers $50,000 reward for info

New footage has been released of the suspected Brown University gunman who killed two in a Saturday night shooting. The short clip shows a person dressed in black walking down Waterman Street off the corner of Hope Street. The FBI has also released new images of the suspect and is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the suspect.

The release of new footage comes as the suspected shooter has not yet been arrested. A person of interest had been apprehended but was later released. A gunman broke into a lecture hall on Brown University’s campus in Rhode Island on Saturday afternoon and opened fire, killing two people and injuring. Police have said that there is no surveillance footage from the engineering building where the economics study session in the lecture hall was taking place.  

The victims killed in the shooting have been identified as Sophomore Ella Cook of Alabama, and freshman Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov. Cook was Vice President of Brown's College Republicans. Former Brown student Alex Shieh said of Cook, "Everyone at Brown who knew Ella, regardless of their politics, found her to be friendly and kind. My thoughts are with Ella's family. Ella was a promising young leader taken too soon."

Umurzokov’s sister, Samira, said that their family had immigrated to the US from Uzbekistan when they were young children, and that her brother had suffered from scoliosis and a neurological condition as a child. "He had so many hardships in his life, and he got into this amazing school and tried so hard to follow through with the promise he made when was 7 years old," she said. 

In the wake of the shooting, Brown Provost Franic J Doyle III announced that all remaining in-person classes for the school, with the exception of the Warren Alpert Medical School and the IE Brown Executive MBA program in the School of Professional Studies, have been canceled for the remainder of the fall semester.
