The term is suspect, not Person of Interest. Person of interest has zero legal meaning. Person of Interest was invented for housewives, and it was a term invented for Richard Jewell when they were trying to frame him up. Legally, there is not one speck of difference between Person of Interest and suspect.

Person of interest does have a meaning, but it is not an accusation of criminal involvement. He may merely have been a witness to an act of criminality, but he might provide interest to the authorities.
It usually means suspect, but not always.
