Providence police have released enhanced surveillance footage showing a person of interest connected to the deadly mass shooting near Brown University, as investigators intensify efforts to identify and locate the suspect responsible for one of the most shocking campus attacks in recent memory.

The video, recorded on December 13, 2025, shows a masked man dressed in dark clothing walking near Brown University’s Barus and Holley building shortly before the shooting. The attack occurred during finals week and left two students dead and nine others wounded, sending shockwaves through the campus and the broader community.

Timestamped at approximately 4:00 p.m., the footage captures the individual moving deliberately through the area, with his hands frequently positioned behind his back. Police say this behavior is consistent with witness accounts describing the shooter’s movements moments before gunfire erupted. Several witnesses reported hearing the suspect yell in Arabic prior to opening fire.

Authorities emphasized that the individual shown in the video is considered a person of interest, not a confirmed suspect. The footage has been enhanced to improve clarity, but the man’s face remains concealed. According to investigators, FBI analysis has so far produced no facial recognition matches, and the individual’s identity remains unknown.

Providence police are urging the public to carefully review the video and report any information that could assist the investigation. Detectives continue to analyze surveillance footage from nearby buildings, interview witnesses, and work with federal partners to determine the motive behind the attack.

Law enforcement officials stressed that community cooperation is critical as the investigation continues. Anyone who recognizes the individual’s clothing, movements, or behavior, or who may have seen him in the area that afternoon, is encouraged to contact authorities immediately.
