Law enforcement has released the identity of the individual believed responsible for the Brown University shooting that left several people dead and others injured, officials said following a multi-day search.
Police issued a formal arrest warrant for the suspect after gathering evidence linking the person to the violent attack near the Providence campus. The announcement came as local, state, and federal agencies coordinated a continuing manhunt to apprehend the individual as quickly as possible.
Authorities urged the public to be vigilant and report any sightings, emphasizing that the suspect remains at large and should be considered armed and dangerous. Officers have increased patrols in the region and are working with community partners to share information and leads.
The shooting prompted an immediate lockdown of university buildings and surrounding areas as first responders secured the scene and tended to victims. Emergency crews transported those wounded to nearby hospitals, where they were treated for non-fatal injuries.
Police continue to review surveillance footage, interview witnesses, and analyze forensic evidence to build a comprehensive picture of the events leading up to the attack. The investigation remains active as the search for the named suspect progresses.
