Law enforcement agencies are actively seeking the suspect responsible for the recent shooting at Brown University that resulted in two fatalities and nine injuries.
Authorities are intensifying their search for the suspect involved in the recent shooting at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, which resulted in two student fatalities and nine injuries. The incident occurred on December 13, 2025, during a study session in the Barus & Holley engineering building.
The victims have been identified as 19-year-old sophomore Ella Cook, vice president of the Brown College Republicans from Alabama, and 18-year-old freshman MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, an aspiring neurosurgeon from Virginia.
Surveillance footage released by the Providence Police Department shows a person of interest dressed in dark clothing near the scene. However, the individual's face is not visible. A previously detained person of interest has been released due to insufficient evidence.
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual responsible for the shooting. Authorities urge anyone with relevant information to contact law enforcement as the investigation continues.
