Manhunt for Brown University Gunman Enters Fourth Day

HeadlineDec 16, 2025

In Rhode Island, the manhunt for the gunman who killed two students and injured nine others at Brown University on Saturday has entered its fourth day. The two students who were killed have been identified as 18-year-old Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and 19-year-old Ella Cook. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a new person of interest.

This comes as FBI Director Kash Patel is facing criticism for posting on social media to promote the agency’s work in tracking down a person of interest in the shooting prematurely, only to release the individual from custody hours later. In the wake of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Patel also claimed on social media that a shooter was in custody, even though the shooter had not yet been apprehended. We’ll speak with one of the survivors, Brown University student Zoe Weissman, after headlines.
