Photos posted in the morning on the federal police agency’s X account show agents in white overalls searching trash cans and others raking snow on a lawn.
They “help process and document material from the crime scene” and work with local law enforcement “to follow leads and gather intelligence to identify the person responsible,” the FBI said in its message.
After releasing photos and videos of the alleged suspect – dressed in black, masked and wearing a beanie – taken before and after the shooting, police in the city of Providence, Rhode Island, where the university is located, again asked for the public’s help on Tuesday to identify him.
“We are asking anyone with information to come forward. Even small details can be decisive for this investigation,” she posted, after having asked on Monday to hear from all the people present in the building where the shooting took place on the day of the incident and the day before.

An image posted to FBI Director Kash Patel’s X account shows a person described as an unknown suspect in the Brown University shooting, as the search for the shooter continues, December 16, 2025.
A reward of $50,000 was also promised “for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the perpetrator”, considered “armed and dangerous”.
A gunman opened fire Saturday in the engineering and physics building at Brown University, where exams were being held, killing two people: Ella Cook, a second-year student from Alabama and involved in the Republican Party, and MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, a first-year, American and Uzbek citizen, who wanted to become a neurosurgeon.
The identities of the nine injured were not shared “for reasons of privacy,” explained the president of the university in a message Tuesday. “Most remain in hospital in stable condition,” she added.
A “virtual interfaith prayer vigil” is planned for Wednesday to pay tribute to the victims.
On Sunday, a man was arrested in this investigation, before being released due to lack of incriminating evidence.
