Police hope the video will help identify and locate the suspect, who is still at large.

Providence police shared a video still showing a man walking along Hope Street shortly after the shooting. The suspect is believed to be male, possibly in his 30s, and was seen wearing all black or dark clothing. Authorities said this is the only confirmed visual evidence available so far.
