The Providence Police Department just released all-new footage of the Brown University shooter.
But, it’s not much…
The video shows the suspect walking down the sidewalk from the other side of the road, dressed all in black.
No face or any other identifying features are visible.
Watch for yourself:
🚨 BREAKING: Providence Police just released NEW VIDEO of the Brown University mass shooting person of interest, telling the public to reach out if they "recognize" him…
You've GOT to be kidding me. This is the best they have?

If they have more videos, drop them now!
There’s really not a whole lot to see or go on based on what they’ve given us, so far.
Take a look at some of these replies:
Yes, Providence Police, I certainly do recognize the blur moving across the screen.

800 cameras and we get potato footage. Either the camera network is a joke, or they are sitting on clearer angles. Drop the best frames, confirm the timeline, and stop outsourcing public safety to a guessing game.

CNN reports that authorities have basically gone back to the drawing board on leads:
Law enforcement authorities are back to early stages in the manhunt for the Brown University mass shooter, the commanding officer of the Providence, Rhode Island, Police Department’s Investigative Division said.
“We have a lot of leads,” Major David Lapatin told CNN on Monday.
The people that are now being looked at as part of the investigation are not hard suspects, he said, and initial inquiries into them are “based on tips from the public.” He did not say how many people are now on law enforcement radar.After officials on Sunday night announced a person of interest was being released, investigators are working very hard to find the shooter, Lapatin told CNN.
“We’re continuing with a plan. We’re hitting the streets. We’re on it,” he said. “We’re collecting evidence now, seeing if it will lead to a possible arrest.”
Lapatin could “not get into” whether more video evidence has been collected beyond a short clip of a person dressed in dark clothes on a sidewalk.
That image is the “clearest picture we have of the individual we believe to be responsible. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t other evidence,” Providence Mayor Brett Smiley told CNN on Monday morning.
Still, “We haven’t identified him,” Lapatin said. “We don’t know who he is. How would we know where he is?”
