MIT Prof Shooting: Link to Brown Campus Tragedy?
19 Dec
Summary
- Police investigate a potential link between two shootings in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
- An MIT professor was fatally shot at his home, days after a Brown University campus shooting.
- Two students were killed and nine injured in the Brown University shooting.
Law enforcement is reportedly examining a possible connection between the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and a recent campus shooting at Brown University. The incident at Brown University, which occurred recently, claimed the lives of two students and injured nine others. Three days later, Nuno F.G. Loureiro, a 47-year-old professor at MIT, was fatally shot multiple times at his residence in Brookline, Massachusetts. Brookline police are investigating his death as a homicide.
Authorities have identified a person of interest in connection with the Brown University shooting and have issued an arrest warrant. This follows an earlier detention of a person of interest who was subsequently released when evidence shifted. The investigation into both incidents is active and ongoing, with officials declining to comment extensively due to the sensitive nature of the cases.
As the search for the suspect in the Brown University shooting continues, the community mourns the two young lives lost. Ella Cook, 19, was remembered as a "bright light" and a courageous leader within her college's Republican group. Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18, an aspiring neurosurgeon from Uzbekistan, was described as a kind and supportive individual and a role model to his family.
