Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez Jr., on Monday, evaded questions on the Brown University shooter and declined to say what witnesses claim the shooter yelled before opening fire at the university.
If the shooter were a White male, we would likely know everything about him.
Rhode Island Officials held a press conference on Monday to provide updates on the Saturday shooting and ongoing investigation as the manhunt for the shooter remains underway.
Witnesses say the shooter “yelled something” before killing two students and wounding nine more, and early reports suggest the shooter shouted “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire.
But Perez wouldn’t tell reporters what he said, claiming, “That’s part of the investigation.”
A reporter even pleaded with Perez to tell reporters what the shooter said to help the public identify him, reasoning that “it’s possible a friend or family member might recognize if the person said something that was significant.”
However, Perez claimed that he could not say, suggesting the case may be in jeopardy if he were to share this evidence.
Later, when another reporter pressed Perez, he gave similar answers, dodging the question again. After reporters began to shout questions about apparent cell phone videos from the scene, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley stepped in to declare a wrap on the presser.

Another Blue State coverup.
In all fairness the Providence Police Chief has politely asked the the unknown suspect give himself up. What more could he possibly do? /s
Cmon man
Brown was founded in the 1760’s - it predates the Declaration of Independence
and has a $10 billion endowment.
It isn’t going anywhere
Looks more Antifa incel than goat humper.
Yep...................
Look at the title, ..."Brown Shooter"...
Do we need any more evidence? Duh-oh.
Is this really necessary:< /sarc>?
Is the person in these videos wearing sunglasses or can we see his eyes?
Eyes appear to be visible..............
I thought it looked like his eyes were uncovered, but when I zoom in all the way on my phone, it’s just a blur. If his/her eyes are uncovered, that should be worth something to the police.
The pot belly on that pic....I don't think that's him...that guy must be 40.
IF I was investigator the first person I would check to see if the woman who was shot/killed had offended any particular guys recently.
She was pretty.
Maybe she pissed off some psycho fat dude.
Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez Jr. and the round glasses mayor are two of the biggest imbeciles I’ve witnessed since the last time a Blue city mayor and police chief were in the news.
Witness reports of what they saw, what they smelled, what they heard (unless hearsay as below), etc., can be taken at any time and used as evidence. Timing of the report wouldn't generally have any impact on the report's weight as evidence unless it was a long time afterwards.
Hearsay is when somebody reports what someone said to them and that report is used to prove the truth of what was said. So if my friend John said to me that a light was red at the time of an accident, testimony by me that John told me the light was red would generally be inadmissible to prove that the light was actually red. That makes sense because I wouldn't have any personal knowledge of whether the light was red or not. They would have to go out and find John and get his direct testimony about the light, which would then be subject to cross examination.
Here, a witness report of what the perp said would not be hearsay. The testimony would be of the utterance itself, rather than the truth of what was uttered.
Two words........shit show
I was unaware that perps generally were expected to notify the LEO of upcoming follow up action.
You know, I realize it’s cold up there but I remember when northerners didn’t bother with face coverings unless it was bitterly cold and to so was a red flag you mightbe some sort of threat.....I’m also old enough to remember when you couldn’t even wear sunglasses inside a bank because you might be a bankrobber attempting to hide your identity.
Wearing masks is the greatest gift to criminals since the Saturday night special.....just one more curse covid has put upon us.
The people who were there know what was shouted, they should speak up.
The smart money says the shooter yelled Allahu Akbar, indicating a religious Moslem fanatic intent on killing infidels.
It is what it is.
Here’s an idea for the investigation, interview all the students in the room, don’t they have sign in sheets for classes?
