Providence, Rhode Island, police have released a new image of the person wanted for questioning in connection with the deadly mass shooting at Brown University.

The Providence Police Department on Tuesday afternoon circulated the new image of a man in a green and dark top, mask and black hat walking down the street. The image is blurry but offers better lighting and appears to show a shoulder bag or satchel strapped across the man’s front.

The FBI has described him as about 5-foot-8, with a stocky build.

The FBI shared the image themselves moments later, reminding people of the $50,000 reward being offered for information related to an arrest.

“The #FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual responsible,” the agency said in a post to social media.

Tuesday’s release follows a press conference Monday evening at which Providence Police released additional footage and a still photo of the same “person of interest.”

Several videos from what appear to be personal security cameras show a man in dark clothing, a mask, and a black beanie walking around the areas of Cooke St., Manning St., and Benevolent St., around 2 p.m. on Saturday only hours before and blocks away from where the shooting took place.

A still photo of the suspect shows him wearing a black and dark green jacket.

In the shooting Saturday, two Brown University students were killed and 9 were wounded.

The slain students have been identified as Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and Ella Cook.

Umurzokov was a freshman with aspirations to become a neurosurgeon.

Cook was a sophomore known for her “bold, brave, and kind heart,” according to the College Republicans of America who wrote in a post announcing Cook’s death that she was the vice president of the organization’s Brown chapter.
