Ella Cook

Ella Cook was a Brown University student who was tragically killed in a shooting on December 15th. She and another student, Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, were victims of a series of attacks that also claimed the life of an MIT professor. The suspect, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, a former Brown student, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a New Hampshire storage facility. The shootings have prompted investigations into the motive behind the attacks, with authorities examining video recordings left by Valente where he claimed to have planned the attacks for years. Cook's death, along with the other victims, has brought grief to the Brown and MIT communities and sparked discussions about campus safety and mental health.
