Person of Interest Gets Released Amid Brown University Investigation
"Tonight, we announced that the person of interest is being released. The investigation has been ongoing and remains fully active between all agencies," stated officials in Providence, Rhode Island, the city where Brown University is situated.
Rhode Island Attorney General Peter F. Neronha affirmed that "there is no basis" to treat the released individual as a person of interest in the ongoing probe.
Providence Mayor Brett Smiley told a news agency that investigators would continue following every lead until they are confident in identifying the responsible party.
"Until such time as we have an individual in custody who we're confident is responsible, that we're prepared to press charges and then prosecute, we're going to continue to leave all doors open," Smiley emphasized.
Authorities had detained a 24-year-old man on Sunday morning in connection with the incident.
The shooting took place shortly after 4 p.m. (2100GMT) on Saturday at Brown University, triggering an immediate response from campus police, followed by local Providence law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel.
University Provost Francis J. Doyle announced that all remaining undergraduate, graduate, and medical classes, as well as exams, papers, and projects for the Fall 2025 semester, would be postponed.
