In the aftermath of a devastating shooting at Brown University on December 13, 2025, which resulted in two fatalities and nine injuries, community members have mobilized to support the victims and their families. A GoFundMe campaign established in memory of MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, an 18-year-old Brown student, has significantly exceeded its fundraising targets, gathering approximately $505,000 as of December 18, 2025, with remaining funds earmarked for charity.
Another fundraising effort is supporting Jacob Spears, a Brown freshman who was injured during the incident. Spears, who has since undergone surgery and is expected to fully recover, has had a GoFundMe established by friends to help his family with hospitalization and recovery expenses, raising nearly $65,000. The student's family has traveled from Georgia to be by his side during this challenging period.
