Person Of Interest In Brown University Shooting Identified

Posted • December 14, 2025: The man who is a person of interest in the Brown University shooting that killed two people and wounded eight others has been identified as Benjamin Erickson, 24, of Wisconsin. Law enforcement allegedly used cell phone geolocation to track the suspect to a hotel in Coventry, about 20 minutes away from Brown University. 🚨 The Brown University “person of interest” who has been detained by law enforcement has been identified as 24 year old Benjamin Erickson, per NBC. Erickson, born in 2001, has a potentially extensive mental health history, and may have a connection to Brown, per WaPo. He supposedly drove from Wisconsin to Providence yesterday, and was detained several miles from the university. https://x.com/nicksortor/status/2000316938959085823 🚨 It's been confirmed that Kash Patel's FBI surged to find the current person of interest in the Brown University mass shooting investigation, utilizing geolocation tools to track the cellphone to a hotel in Coventry, RI. About 20 minutes from Brown University.

FBI Director Kash Patel says a lead came from local police. Find out who did this and bring the monster to swift JUSTICE. —— CNN's "chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst" John Miller fear-mongers about "laser sights" on pistols in the wake of the Brown University shooting. "One of those firearms, we are told, was equipped with a laser sight device. This has significance, because number one, that's a fairly sophisticated device for a handgun where when you aim it, a red dot goes where you want to target, and if you fire at that point, the bullet goes where the dot is. It's the kind of things used mostly by professionals, tactical people, military people." https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2000273805650894863/vid/avc1/1280x720/agzDtqAbWYrQBU-2.mp4

Several things to note. (1) The "person of interest" was captured in a hotel. They've clarified the person was in his 20s, not his 30s, as previously reported. Assuming this is the actual gunman, the younger age would seem to skew back toward the potential of just being an aggrieved student, while the hotel aspect counter-skews away from that. (2) Handguns are once again the gun of choice for mass shooters. —— Brown U. shooting probe 'progressing extremely fast' after cops bust person of interest at hotel https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2000269865546850307/vid/avc1/720x1280/J3XHIysUjPbLkvOs.mp4 —— Townhall reported that the attack might have targeted a Jewish economics professor's classroom. Erickson is believed to have traveled from Wisconsin, which is over 1,000 miles away from Brown University.

Traveling 1,000+ miles suggests a pre-planned attack against a very specific target with a very specific motivation. Increases the odds that this suspect harbored a deep grievance against the University, generally, or against someone in that classroom, specifically. —— The person detained in connection to the shooting at Brown University in Providence, RI is from Wisconsin. Authorities believe the person of interest traveled from Wisconsin to Rhode Island to carry out the shooting at Brown last night, law enforcement sources tell CNN. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G8J2NMIXwAcKX0b?format=jpg&name=medium
