New video released of person of interest in Brown University shooting
Providence police have released new video footage showing a person of interest in connection with Saturday night's fatal shooting at Brown University .
The video, released at 2:30 p.m. on Monday, is taken from 144 Waterman St. in Providence at 4:06 p.m. on Saturday. It depicts an individual in all black clothing walking calmly down the sidewalk.
The Providence Police Department asks that any and all video or photo evidence be submitted via phone at 401-272-3121 or to the FBI tip line .
The newly released video — the second released by law enforcement so far in the investigation — appears to have been captured just minutes after the fatal shooting broke out on Saturday evening, on the first floor of the Barus and Holley engineering and physics building.
Officials said the gunman left the building after killing two people and injuring nine others on the Hope Street side, then took a right onto Waterman Street.
A massive law enforcement response flooded Rhode Island after the shooting as the school and surrounding community went into a lockdown that lasted over 12 hours. A manhunt then ensued, with investigators combing the campus and nearby neighborhoods.
The department announced a person of interest was taken into custody at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, early Sunday morning — but by Sunday night, police confirmed he would be released.
There was an enhanced presence of Providence police officers in city neighborhoods on Monday as officers went to businesses and residences to request available camera footage.
The suspect has been merely identified by police as a man in his 30s, according to Providence police and city officials.
As of Sunday, seven people were in stable condition, one was in critical but stable condition and one person was discharged from the hospital after the shooting, Mayor Brett Smiley said.
Brown University president Christina Paxson said on Sunday morning that, while officials regularly prepare for this type of incident, "When it happens, it's just hard to believe."
"It's devastating," Paxson said.
