How 1 Anonymous Tipster Cracked the Brown University Shooting Case

Two students were killed and nine injured in a 9mm shooting at Brown University; authorities have received 200 actionable tips but the suspect remains unidentified.

  • On Dec. 18, authorities said the suspect remains at large after killing two students and injuring nine others at Brown University, urging the public to provide tips and images.
  • Shortly after 4 p.m. on Dec. 13, the shooting occurred inside the Barus and Holley engineering building during finals with unlocked doors, and investigators have not determined a motive.
  • Authorities released surveillance and doorbell camera footage showing a masked man before and after the attack, investigators recovered 9mm shell casings, and the FBI offered a $50,000 reward.
  • Campus lockdowns forced students and the Brown University community to shelter in place, leading Brown University to cancel remaining final exams; by Dec. 17, several wounded patients were discharged while others remained hospitalized.
  • The manhunt entered its sixth day on Dec. 18 as authorities canvassed neighborhoods, a person detained Dec. 14 was released after evidence "pointed in a different direction," and Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez urged residents to check cameras, warning `He could be anywhere`.
