The Providence, Rhode Island police department posted new photos on social media Wednesday afternoon, as the manhunt for the killer in the horrific shooting at Brown University on Saturday.
Officials have been sharing multiple video clips of a masked man walking through the neighborhood at the time leading up to the shooting, and minutes afterward.
However, the grainy images released by the Providence Police Department on Wednesday appear to be a different man, who is unmasked, but is wearing a hooded jacket.
“Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying and speaking to the individual shown in these photos who was in proximity of the person of interest. Anyone with information is urged to contact the tip line at 401-272-3121,” the police wrote.
Below is the video the police released a day earlier, of what appears to be a different person of interest.
The images (above) which police just released on Wednesday show the new person inside the exact same yard, which the first person of interest was seen walking past in the previously-released video. (See the 18-second mark of the video below.)
