The FBI is offering a reward over the Brown University mass shooting of up to $50,000 "for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction" of a suspect, FBI director Kash Patel said on X.
The big picture: Authorities released new images and video of a person of interest in Saturday's shooting that killed two students and injured nine others after police released a man previously detained as a "person of interest" in the case.
- With the lone person of interest released from custody after being ruled out of the investigation, authorities are conducting a large-scale search for the suspect.
Zoom in: Despite having no one in custody in the shooting, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said during a Monday briefing law enforcement was making "steady progress" in the case.
- Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez described the investigation at the briefing as "very complex," and it's "all hands on deck," as several law enforcement agencies work together on the case.
- In addition to images, the FBI released a description of the suspect, saying he's "approximately 5'8" with a stocky build."
