Both victims killed in the mass shooting at Brown University have now been identified.

Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, of Uzbekistan, was identified by Jonathan Henick, the U.S. Ambassador to Uzbekistan, as the second victim killed in the campus shooting that took place on Saturday (December 13).

"I am deeply saddened by reports of the tragic death of Brown University student Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov on December 13," Henick said in a statement shared on Monday (December 15). "We extend our sincere condolences to Mr. Umurzokov's family, friends, and fellow students and mourn the loss of his bright future."

Ella Cook, a sophomore student and the vice president of Brown University's Republican club, was identified by her Alabama parish and a former classmate as the first victim killed in the shooting. A priest at her Alabama parish described her as a "tremendous bright light" during a mass that was livestreamed on Facebook.

Former Brown University student Alex Shieh, who dropped out of the college last semester, also confirmed that Cook was the vice president of the Ivy League university's Republican club, noting that she was one of a few people willing to associate with him after he sent a DOGE-inspired email to thousands of administrators.

“Everyone at Brown who knew Ella, regardless of their politics, found her to be friendly and kind. My thoughts are with Ella’s family. Ella was a promising young leader taken too soon,” Shieh wrote in a since-deleted post on X.

The FBI has offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of the unidentified suspect in connection with the Brown University shooting. The agency also shared several surveillance photos of the suspect, who was described as "a male, approximately 5'8" with a stocky build."

An individual previously detained as a person of interest was released on Sunday (December 14) as authorities announced a manhunt was underway. The mass shooting was reported on Brown University's East Side campus Saturday, which resulted in nine others being transported to local hospitals, along with the two deaths.

President Donald Trump addressed the incident, as well as the mass shooting targeting Jewish victims at Bondi Beach in Australia and the deaths of three U.S. soldiers in Syria, during a Christmas event at the White House on Sunday.

“I want to just pay my respects to the people, unfortunately, two are no longer with us, Brown University, nine injured, and two are looking down on us right now from Heaven,” Trump said via the New York Post. “And likewise, in Australia, that was a terrible attack. 11 dead, 29 badly wounded, and that was an anti-Semitic attack, obviously. And I just want to pay my respects to everybody.

“It was a rough day.”
