Brown Shooting Suspect Frees Self by Doing Nothing but Breathing
KEY POINTS
- â˘Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez announced on December 14, 2025, that evidence points away from the detained individual.
- â˘Mayor Brett Smiley tweeted just before midnight that the only suspect is being released.
- â˘Attorney General Peter Neronha stated the released man is no longer considered a person of interest, calming Brown University's campus fears.
In a plot twist that screams 'Hold my X,' Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez announced on a Sunday night briefing, December 14, 2025, that the sole person detained for the Brown University shootingâan incident that tragically killed two and injured nineâis no longer a person of interest as 'evidence now points in a different direction.' Mayor Brett Smiley tweeted the suspect's release just before midnight, making this mystery vanish faster than your will to check college notifications after finals. Meanwhile, Attorney General Peter Neronha diplomatically confirmed there's 'no basis' to consider the man suspicious, and Brown University reassured everyone there's 'no immediate threat'âbecause apparently, the real shooter ghosted. Stay tuned, folks, for what hopefully will not be a sequel.
