Unconfirmed reports identify Mustapha Kharbouch, a radical pro-Jihad Palestinian activist and Brown University student, as the prime suspect in the December 13 campus shooting that killed students Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov while injuring nine others, even as his online profiles vanish and authorities drag their feet.
The gunman struck during final exams in an academic building, sparking a shelter-in-place order and a joint FBI-local police manhunt. Despite claims of 800-plus surveillance cameras, officials admit lacking clear video or suspect ID, offering a measly $50,000 reward for tips on the “armed and dangerous” shooter still at large four days later. Frustration boils over the stalled probe, reminiscent of federal fumbles in cases like the Charlie Kirk assassination attempt.
Social media erupted with evidence pointing to Kharbouch, a first-year student and Cultural Programming Coordinator for the Global Brown Center, after his Brown webpage and X account mysteriously disappeared. An archived page confirms his role, while X users flagged a “97.8% gait match” to blurry shooter footage. “Brown University SCRUBBS all info and associations to MUSTAPHA KHARBOUCH who worked at Brown University,” blasted one post, slamming press conferences dodging camera evidence.
Responding To Questions
Brown University addressed the online speculation in a statement provided to media outlets, including InfoWars, condemning “harmful doxxing activity directed toward at least one member of the Brown University community.” The statement continued, claiming profile takedowns protect safety—insisting law enforcement would name him if relevant.
Neither FBI nor Providence Police list Kharbouch as a suspect, fueling cover-up accusations. Links to his profiles now spit “Page Not Found,” with speculation doxxing forced the wipe to shield him from “internet detectives.” The university stonewalls, prioritizing one activist over justice as the manhunt drags and the Brown community reels.
