PROVIDENCE, RI December 15, 2025 – The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), working alongside the Providence Police Department and Rhode Island State Police, has released surveillance footage depicting the movements of a person of interest connected to a shooting incident at Brown University on December 13, 2025.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) from the account of FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash), the agency shared a video timeline captured from a residential security camera. The footage, timestamped Saturday, December 13, 2025, at approximately 14:00 (2:00 PM), shows a quiet suburban street in what appears to be a neighborhood near the university campus. A dark-colored sedan is seen driving slowly down the road before coming to a stop or turning at an intersection.
The FBI described the video as part of an ongoing effort to identify the individual responsible for the shooting, which occurred earlier that day. Details about the incident itself—including the number of victims, their conditions, or the exact location on campus—remain limited in official statements, though the release suggests the person of interest may have been in the area shortly before or after the event.
The agency is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the suspect. Tips can be submitted anonymously to the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI, online at tips.fbi.gov, or directly to the Providence Police Department at 401-272-3121.
The post has garnered significant attention on social media, with users speculating on the identity of the individual and sharing potential leads. Some replies reference a Brown University student or activist named Mustapha Kharbouch, claiming related online profiles have been removed or altered. The FBI has not confirmed any specific suspect details at this time.
Authorities urge the public to come forward with any relevant information while cautioning against unsubstantiated speculation. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
