BREAKING: Police release photos of person of interest seen ‘in proximity’ of suspect in Brown University shooting
“Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying and speaking to the individual shown in these photos who was in proximity of the person of interest.”
Providence Police on Wednesday released images of a person of interest they are seeking in connection with the Brown University shooting that took place on Saturday. The suspect is still on the loose.
Police said that the person had been seen "in proximity of" the suspected gunman. In a Tuesday press conference, Providence Police Chief said that the "person of interest" that they have released numerous photos and videos of since the Saturday shooting is strongly believed to be the suspect in the case.
Providence Police wrote, "Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying and speaking to the individual shown in these photos who was in proximity of the person of interest. Anyone with information is urged to contact the tip line at 401-272-3121."
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the person responsible for the attack that killed two students, Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, and injured nine others.
Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha has said that investigators have not uncovered evidence that would reveal a motive in the case yet. "there is no information that the investigative team has about motive. zero. Zero. There's nothing about—even if, even if taking at face value what one or two witnesses may have said, about what something was said. Okay, and there are many witnesses that say nothing was said. There's nothing about what we know was perhaps said that indicates any kind of motive that is related at all to ethnicity or political outlook or culture. There's nothing at all that we know right now about that, and I think that that is a dangerous road to go down, particularly in today's part," he said.
