The Brown University community is mourning the loss of two students, including a freshman aspiring to be a neurosurgeon, who were killed in a mass shooting on Saturday. The attack, which left nine others injured, has shattered the campus and drawn attention to the personal stories of the victims.
Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, a freshman from Uzbekistan, was identified as one of the two fatalities in the attack inside the Barus and Holley engineering building. As tributes pour in for the student described as having 'a real academic passion,' the police investigation has taken a complex turn after an initial person of interest was cleared.
