The release comes as police renewed their search Monday, a day after announcing that a man previously detained in connection with the case had been released.
WASHINGTON — Investigators searching for the gunman who killed two Brown University students and wounded nine others have released new video footage as the manhunt continues.
Authorities said Monday they are sharing video of a person of interest and plan to release additional footage as the investigation unfolds. Anyone who recognizes the individual is asked to submit tips through the FBI’s online tip center at fbi.gov/brownuniversityshooting or call 401-272-3121.
The release comes as police renewed their search Monday, a day after announcing that a man previously detained in connection with the case had been released. Officials said the individual was taken into custody at a Rhode Island hotel but was later cleared.
That marked a setback in the investigation and added to questions about the shooting and investigation, including an apparent lack of video evidence and whether the focus on the person of interest might have given the killer more time to flee.
State Attorney General Peter Neronha acknowledged the urgency of the situation during a news conference late Sunday night.
“We have a murderer out there,” he said.
The shooting happened Saturday on Brown University’s campus, where two students were killed and nine others were injured. With no suspect currently in custody, investigators are urging the public to review the newly released footage and come forward with any information that could help identify the person involved.
