Providence, RI – Providence police are asking for the public’s help today after releasing a new image of a person of interest connected to the ongoing Brown University incident, officials confirmed Wednesday.
According to the Providence Police Department, investigators shared the updated image Wednesday morning and indicated that additional media related to the case is expected to be released shortly. Officials are urging anyone who may recognize the individual or have information connected to the incident to come forward immediately.
The department said tips can be submitted directly to the FBI through a dedicated online portal or by calling the official tip line at 401-272-3121. Authorities emphasized that even small details could be critical as the investigation continues.
The incident, which occurred near Brown University in Providence, has drawn significant attention from local, state, and federal law enforcement. Police have not released further details about the individual shown in the image or clarified what role the person may have played, stressing that the individual is considered a person of interest, not a suspect.
City officials, including Providence Mayor Brett Smiley, have amplified the request for public assistance, encouraging residents, students, and anyone who may have been in the area to review the image carefully and share it widely.
Investigators say the increased visibility may help generate new leads, particularly from individuals who were near the campus or surrounding neighborhoods around the time of the incident.
Authorities also warned the public not to attempt to approach or identify the individual themselves. Instead, anyone with information is asked to contact law enforcement directly.
More updates are expected as additional images and details are released.
