Investigators have identified a suspect in the recent Brown University shooting, which resulted in the deaths of two students and injuries to nine others. According CNN, authorities have a signed warrant for the suspect's arrest and are actively searching for him. The shooting occurred nearly a week ago inside a classroom on campus, sparking a manhunt.
Despite challenges in identifying the suspect, law enforcement has made progress in the investigation. The suspect was caught on video casing the area before the attack, but his identity remained elusive due to the lack of clear surveillance footage. The Barus and Holley building, where the shooting took place, had few security cameras, complicating efforts to capture the suspect on video.
Authorities have been relying on footage from nearby businesses and residents to track the suspect's movements. They have also recovered DNA from the crime scene, which they are comparing against criminal and commercial databases. Experts believe the suspect's capture is imminent due to widespread surveillance and technological advancements.
The suspect is described as about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and stocky. While the motive remains unclear, authorities do not believe a specific person was targeted. The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement continues to urge the public to provide any information that could aid in the suspect's capture.
