Brown University Shooting

A still unknown gunman opened fire on a Brown University campus on December 13, 2025, killing 2 students and wounding 9 others. The shooter entered the classroom and opened fire, using a 9mm handgun. The victims were identified as Ella Cook, 19, Vice President of the College Republicans on the Brown campus, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov,18, an Uzbekistan student.

As of right now, there are now two people of interest authorities are searching for, one who was seen in proximity with the suspect. One person of interest, Mustapha Kharbouch, had a now deleted report in which he called for “sustained confrontation,” specifically for Israel supporters. We could not confirm Ella’s stance on Israel, but her profile strongly suggests she did.

Blurb:

I am exhausted by the left’s reflexive impulse to cover for jihadist violence and those who rationalize it. This is not activism—it is ideological complicity that corrodes our country and our way of life. The person of interest, Mustapha Kharbouch, previously published a 2024 manifesto with the Institute for Palestine Studies—since deleted—in which he explicitly framed campus agitation as a form of revolutionary struggle and called for sustained confrontation. His own words are damning: “Our refusal to be complacent in the heart of the empire is the bare minimum of love and care we can show our people in Gaza,” and “Palestine is becoming a question of how we want to fundamentally rearrange our world.” This is not rhetoric about peace or coexistence; it is the language of ideological warfare—and too many on the left provide it cover until violence follows.

I am so fed up with the left covering for murdering Muslims. The left is killing our country, our way of life, they are killing us, literally.

As the search for the Brown University shooter who killed two students and injured multiple others drags on, police are now searching for a second suspect in connection with the shooting.

Fox News reported Wednesday that the “mystery deepens” as police continue to insist they have no identity for a potential suspect. Now, Providence Police are asking for help with an individual “in proximity of the person of interest,” as seen below.

The police also shared “enhanced video” online of the Brown University “person of interest.” Those with any information can contact the tip line and use the official FBI reporting platform. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved in the local investigation, too.

“Investigators are asking for the public’s help in identifying and speaking to the individual shown in these photos who was in proximity of the person of interest.”

Providence Police on Wednesday released images of a person of interest they are seeking in connection with the Brown University shooting that took place on Saturday. The suspect is still on the loose.

Police said that the person had been seen “in proximity of” the suspected gunman. In a Tuesday press conference, Providence Police Chief said that the “person of interest” that they have released numerous photos and videos of since the Saturday shooting is strongly believed to be the suspect in the case.

The second student who was killed over the weekend in the tragic Brown University mass shooting has just been identified.

MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, an 18-year-old freshman who dreamed of becoming a brain surgeon, lost his life on Saturday.

Federal authorities have released new images and surveillance footage of the suspect in Saturday’s mass shooting at Brown University, intensifying the manhunt as investigators urge the public to come forward with any information.

The FBI is now offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the capture of the suspect.

Late Monday night, the FBI unveiled a wanted poster featuring three images of what it called an “unknown suspect,” along with the first formal physical description.

“The suspect is described as a male, approximately 5’8″ with a stocky build,” the bureau said in a press release.

“We sent additional resources and personnel earlier today to help track down leads, canvass neighborhoods, and develop intelligence,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote in a social media post.

“Our Evidence Response Team remains on campus processing the scene, and our Lab at Quantico is assisting as well.”

Law enforcement has yet to apprehend the suspect in the Brown University shooting on Saturday that killed two students and wounded nine others.

Officials on Monday held a press conference stating they are working a multi-agency case and doing everything they can to identify and arrest the suspect.

The FBI also announced a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual responsible for the shooting.

Authorities on Monday also released several new videos of the suspect walking on a neighborhood sidewalk, but they are low quality and none offer a clear view of his face.

A conservative Christian woman from Alabama has been identified as one of the two fatalities from Saturday’s shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island that left at least nine others wounded.

Ella Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore at Brown, was a parishioner at Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, where Rev. Craig Smalley made the announcement during his Sunday service.

“Some of you haven’t heard, a lot of you have heard … [about] the tragedy yesterday at Brown University, the shooting of a number of people,” Smalley said.. “Tragically, one of our parishioners, Ella Cook, was one of those who was killed yesterday.”

After the horrific attack at Brown University on Saturday evening that left two students dead and at least nine injured, there was some relief when authorities reported they had taken a “person of interest” into custody. However, the POI was released soon thereafter after Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that the evidence “now points in a different direction.”

Now, a frantic manhunt is underway on the Providence, RI, Brown campus and surrounding areas. A short while ago on this Monday afternoon, Rhode Island police issued new video which they hope will help lead to the suspect:
