" "We're still trying to determine why he was in the city and what he was doing in that particular area," Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said. "He's not from the city locally. He's from outside of the city, so we're just in the preliminary stages of the investigation so that this point we do not have a suspect." "
