News reports indicate that authorities have not yet publicly identified a perpetrator as the confirmed “Brown University shooter.” Officials have spoken instead about an unidentified suspect seen wearing black and about a “person of interest” who has been detained and then released without formal charges.
Current public information
At this stage, law enforcement and university officials are describing the situation in terms of a continuing investigation rather than naming a specific individual as the shooter. Media outlets have reported on a man from Wisconsin identified by unnamed law‑enforcement sources as a “person of interest,” but they also note that he has not been formally charged in relation to the attack.
Because of this, it is not accurate or responsible to state that any particular named person “is” the Brown University shooter until authorities release an official identification and file charges.
