Brown University Gunman Still at Large After Police Release Detained Person of Interest

Investigators are canvassing for video following the release of clips showing a masked figure walking away from the scene.

Overview

  • Authorities renewed a multi-agency search Monday and asked the public to submit surveillance footage and tips, citing limited camera coverage inside the engineering complex.
  • The individual detained Sunday at a Coventry hotel was released after evidence pointed in a different direction, and officials reported no credible ongoing threats to the community.
  • Police shared short surveillance video of a person dressed in black near Hope and Waterman streets and said enhanced patrols and door-to-door video requests are underway.
  • The attack occurred during final exams inside the Barus & Holley building, where more than 40 rounds were fired, and investigators are probing how the shooter accessed a badge-locked classroom.
  • The two students killed were identified as Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, and Brown canceled remaining semester exams as several wounded students remain hospitalized.
