A person of interest is not yet a suspect but the police has interest in talking to them for various reasons, i.e. they knew the victim, they were at a specific place, etc... when a crime occurs, the police wants to gather as much information about it as they can and being a person of interest doesn't necessarily mean that the police is suspicious of them. Not yet anyway.

Now, if a person is arrested, it means that the police may have found something about them that could link them to a crime. They are no longer a person of interest but become a suspect.
