He remains at large, and authorities have obtained a warrant, according to the sources.

Earlier this week, FBI Boston's special agent in charge Ted Docks told reporters that investigators were sharing intelligence regarding both cases but had not come up with a clear tie.

Unverified reports in both Providence, Rhode Island, and Brookline, Massachusetts, have described Nissan Sentras at the scene, although they were described as having license plates from different states.

A person of interest was seen Saturday a few minutes later on surveillance video in the neighborhood east of Brown's campus.

Loureiro was a renowned nuclear physicist, director of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center and a recipient of a presidential award honoring his research from the White House earlier this year.
