A suspect, identified earlier as Brandon Ray Gonzales, was released from a local jail on Tuesday after US investigators have failed to collect enough evidence against him.

The shooter at a college Halloween party in East Texas killed two people and injured a dozen more, AP reported.

According to a media report, Gonzales was arrested and jailed on a capital murder charge after an arrest affidavit claimed a confidential informant told the Hunt County Sheriff's Office that the suspect opened fire at a party hall outside Greenville, Texas, on 26 October.

Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks said Tuesday in a statement cited by AP that additional information and the refusal of witnesses to cooperate with the investigation undermined the case against the suspect.
