Key Facts
Authorities announced a person of interest was in custody Sunday before he was released later in the day, with Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha saying Sunday night “there is no basis to consider him a person of interest.”
Providence police announced an “enhanced presence” in the city Monday afternoon and requested security camera footage from local businesses and residences.
Police initially only released limited security camera footage of a potential suspect walking near the building where the shooting took place, but released more footage on Monday afternoon, along with images of the suspect.
Neronha told CNN on Monday the original person of interest was “not on our radar” anymore.
The FBI released these images Monday of the suspect in the Brown University shooting.

“Obviously we have a murderer out there, frankly, and so we’re not going to give away the game plan,” Neronha said.
