Providence police have released surveillance footage of a person of interest linked to a fatal shooting at Brown University on Saturday night, December 13, 2025. The incident, which occurred near Hope Street, left two dead and nine injured, marking one of the most severe campus-related violent events in Rhode Island this year.
The video shows an individual dressed in black walking along a sidewalk, though the person's face remains obscured. Authorities have urged the public to come forward with any information that could aid in identifying the suspect. Deputy Police Chief Timothy O'Hara emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and assured the community that additional security measures are being implemented across campus.
Brown University officials have temporarily increased patrols and counseling services for students and staff. The shooting has reignited discussions about campus safety and gun violence prevention in academic spaces, with local leaders pledging to address these concerns in early 2026.
