    Authorities have released new images and video of a person of interest related to a mass shooting at Brown University while the FBI has offered a $50,000 bounty.

    Law enforcement have been attempting to track down a gunman who killed two students and injured nine others on Saturday. Authorities had detained a "person of interest" early on Sunday, but released him after concluding he did not commit the shooting.

    The new video and reward offer come as law enforcement have continued a frenzied search to find the shooter. Local officials on Sunday asked residents in Providence, Rhode Island, for additional information, tips, videos, and images of the person of interest after he was caught on CCTV footage in the area of the university.

    "The FBI and [the Providence Police Department] are releasing new images of a person of interest in the mass shooting at Brown University on 12/13/25. The [FBI] is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual," the bureau's Boston office said in a post on X.

    The Providence Police Department released additional videos of what appears to be the person of interest dressed in black clothing with a mask on.

    Providence Mayor Brett Smiley attempted to reassure the public on Monday that there is no active threat despite the shooter still being at large.

    "Ever since 4:05 on Saturday, which is when the call came in for [the Brown University shooting] there has been no new credible specific threat anywhere in the Providence community," Smiley said at a press conference on Monday.


    Unconvinced reporters pushed Smiley on his basis for claiming that the community remains safe. Officials have increased police presence throughout Providence and at Brown University while the hunt for the shooter continues.

    A gunman on Saturday stormed into a classroom in Brown's engineering department and killed two students, Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov. Cook was from Alabama and served as vice president of the university's Republican Club. Umurzokov was an Uzbek national in his first year at the school.
