RI - Mass Shooting at Brown University - Providence 13 Dec 2025

now
The press conference is over, with police providing few but new updates to the investigation including new videos and photos of an individual believed to be connected to the shooting.

The videos show the individual walking alone and they do not appear to be carrying anything in their hands. The individual’s face is concealed and appears to have a light complexion.

Police also confirmed that a 9mm firearm was used while the FBI announced that a $50,000 reward was being offered for information leading to the case being solved.

“There’s no one that wants to put this individual in handcuffs [more] than us, so this has brought us to a new lead,” Providence police chief Oscar Perez said.

Something about his walk makes me think maybe in his mid to upper 40s. Definitely doesn’t seem younger than that.

Yep.
Plus pot belly

He is walking as if no care in his world - with head held high.
Or is he looking upward?

No more briefings Monday unless there's a "significant update," mayor says​

From CNN's Danya Gainor

Mayor Brett Smiley said Providence officials will not provide another news briefing Monday unless there is a “significant update” to the situation.

Also thought it interesting that he is looking up. Maybe checking for cctv?

I resized the second photo.

Note the pink circle around his right hand; he is not wearing a glove.

Secondly, the front of his jacket is blue and has green across the front.

Off to check jackets!

ETA: adding the FBI link

His jacket has a label someone will recognize him

I don't think it does. I thought the same thing at first, but when I zoomed in to see if it said "LL Bean" or whatever it looks like an editing slider left on there by the FBI digitially zooming and enhancing the image. My eyes ain't what they used to be even with reading glasses, but I think it says "359x".

 

[JennieM]

Does he have a beard? There is a black area below his mask and a bit on the sides.

The timestamps from the files - the two images on each side of the wanted poster seem to have come from the third video down, marked as 1453 hours. What’s notable to me is that it appears he’s gained a sling bag of some sort between the still photos at 1418 and the 1453 video.

The second photo (apologize; it's blurry) looks like "350".

The 3.50x or whatever it is is the zoom amount for the camera software. Unrelated to the jacket.

I've replayed the video where they are saying where the new videos came from and I THINK he said Oak Street near Benevolent and Main or Mini. I have looked up Oak Street and it's 2.5 walking miles away. I also don't see any other streets in that area that look like it could be the other 2 he mentioned. Can anyone listen to see if you hear better? My laptop sound was awful, so I played it on my phone held to my ear and that is what I got. Start about 8:30 into the press conference for the spot to listen to.

I see that now!

I'll edit my posted photo.

Thanks.

Wasn't it stated the person was wearing all black? Here the jacket is clearly two toned. The bluish tint on the pants and jacket may be the photo, and in fact be black, but the jacket is definitely not all black.
I would think that at least a couple of people in that classroom could confirm the colors.

A case like this makes me miss Arrin Stoner's analysis. He was so good at analyzing grainy CCTV clips. Hopefully they can find this guy soon

This is hugely helpful!! I was trying to figure out which streets were mentioned, and I heard Oak Street, which happens to be a street in Providence.. lol These are all close to the school so that makes sense.

I got the impression that he did when watching the videos. They need to keep the close up of him facing the camera. To me he def looks overweight and lumbering. IMO

The first CCTV from behind had the same jacket.
I noticed the bluish/greyish tone earlier when the video appeared.
He is even wearing the black mask here - just like during the attack.

So I don't think he changed his clothing.

Looks like a dark blue shirt under the jacket, too, imo.

Why did the FBI crop his image like this? Is the logo visible on the side that’s not visible?

I thought it was black and green.

Similar to this, but this one has a green hood, his is black.
