PROVIDENCE, R.I.—The manhunt continues for a suspect in Saturday’s shooting at Brown University.

The person of interest in police custody will be released, said Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said Sunday night. . .

Earlier Sunday, the FBI had detained a person of interest in a hotel room in Coventry, a city outside Providence, the agency said. There wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute the person in custody, officials said. . .

Providence and Brown’s campus will have an enhanced law enforcement presence starting Monday, Smiley said.

“We have no way of knowing” if the perpetrator remains in Providence or has fled the state, Smiley said at a short-notice press conference late Sunday.

It has to be not just that they didn't have enough evidence to prosecute because they'd hold him for a few days anyway. They must know this guy didn't do it.

2. The photo of the arrested man gave me the impression that he is a well-adjusted male.

Of course, one photo is not indicative of whether a person is capable of committing a horrible act. However, I was not surprised to learn that he has been cleared by law enforcement.

3. "There wasn't enough evidence to prosecute the person in custody"

If they're letting him go, it's because they know for an absolute certainty he didn't do it.

What the fuck kind of language is this?
