Brown University

Brown University, an Ivy League institution in Providence, Rhode Island, is currently at the center of several news stories. Most prominently, a mass shooting on campus resulted in the deaths of two students, Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and Ella Cook, and injuries to nine others. The suspect, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a former brief student at Brown and a Portuguese national, was later found dead. Investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the attacks, which also included the murder of an MIT professor. The suspect had reportedly planned the attack for years, according to video transcripts released by the US Department of Justice. Furthermore, the Trump administration has suspended the visa lottery program, citing the Brown University shooting suspect's connection to it, raising concerns about immigration policies and their potential link to violent acts. The events have shaken the Providence community and sparked a manhunt, with authorities receiving assistance from the public in identifying the suspect.
