<p>Investigators in Providence, Rhode Island, recovered physical evidence — including live ammunition and DNA — from the scene of the mass shooting at Brown University, where two students were killed, and nine others were wounded.</p>
<p>Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/brown-university-mass-shooting-manhunt-gunman-12-18-2025">confirmed</a> to Fox News on Wednesday that investigators are &#8220;in the process of examining that evidence,&#8221; adding, “And yes, we have some DNA that we manipulated and so it just progresses every day.” The development marks a major step in a case that has frustrated the public over the lack of information and footage on the person of interest.</p>
<p>Perez told Fox News that the investigation “progresses every day with forensics, it progresses every day with witness statements, and so yeah, we&#8217;re just trying to find out, and we are going to do our best.” But at a press conference on Wednesday, the police chief <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/us/brown-shooter-suspect-providence.html">admitted</a> that the gunman &#8220;could be anywhere.&#8221;</p>

<p>Providence police and the FBI initially released grainy images and videos of a person of interest in connection to the shooting, sparking criticism from the public over the lack of security footage on campus. Authorities then released &#8220;enhanced&#8221; videos of the person of interest on Tuesday. The videos and photos show a person wearing a mask and a coat walking down streets in Providence before the shooting. Police also <a href="https://x.com/ProvidenceRIPD/status/2001391106148438334">released a map</a> showing the streets where the person of interest &#8220;is confirmed to have been present on the day of the incident.&#8221;</p>

<p>Students Ella Cook, a 19-year-old University College Republicans vice president from Alabama, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, an 18-year-old from Uzbekistan, were killed while they studied in a first-floor classroom in Brown&#8217;s Barus &amp; Holley building. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that the older building has &#8220;fewer, if any, cameras&#8221; compared to other buildings on campus because of its age.</p>
<p>“So, there’s the back part of the building, the old part, and the front part, the new part,” Neronha said. “The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back.&#8221;</p>
