Police have released new surveillance footage showing a person of interest in the shooting at Brown University, as investigators intensify efforts to identify and arrest the suspect.
The footage shows a man wearing dark clothing with a mask covering his face. Authorities say the individual is believed to be connected to the shooting and should be considered armed and dangerous.
FBI Boston Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks announced that a $50,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to the arrest of the gunman. He urged anyone with relevant information to come forward immediately, stressing the potential danger the suspect poses to the public.
Investigators acknowledged challenges in the case, noting that the specific building where the shooting occurred had fewer surveillance cameras than other parts of the university. As a result, defining physical features of the suspect are difficult to discern from the available footage.
Law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal levels continue to work jointly on the investigation. Authorities are asking the public to review the released footage carefully and report any tips, no matter how small, that could help identify the suspect and bring the case closer to resolution.
