How 1 anonymous tipster cracked the Brown University shooting case

Video Description

Information from a tipster who had a strange encounter with another man on a sidewalk outside Brown University was key to police identifying the suspect they believe killed two students at the school and then two days later gunned down a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor. Known only as “John” in a Providence police affidavit, the source is being hailed by investigators as the key figure who gave law enforcement the details needed to determine who was behind the Brown shooting, as well as the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who was shot in his Brookline home Monday. https://turnto10.com/news/local/how-1-anonymous-tipster-cracked-the-brown-university-shooting-case-dec-19-2025 #brownuniversity #rhodeisland #providence #police ----- NBC 10 WJAR is Southern New England's leading news station, covering news, politics, sports and weather in Rhode Island, Southeastern Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut, including Providence, Central Falls, Cranston, East Providence, Newport, Pawtucket, Warwick, Woonsocket, Attleboro, Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton and Cape Cod, and surrounding communities.
