Honoring a Lost Student

The young woman Ella Cook, a second-year scholar from Alabama, was described as “a wonderful, steady, devout, shining presence”, according to the Birmingham's Cathedral Church of the Advent, which offered condolences for her at a service on Sunday.

She served as vice-president of Brown’s division of the College Republicans organization, as the club stated. Karoline Leavitt also expressed condolences on social media, remarking: “There are no words. Keeping in mind her family and friends, particularly her mother and father.”

An International Student

The other person killed was MukhammadAziz Umurzokov from Uzbekistan, a citizen of Uzbekistan in his freshman year at the renowned school, his family confirmed.

The victim's identification was officially acknowledged by the foreign office of Uzbekistan.

“He was incredibly kind, funny, and smart. His ambitions were lofty of becoming a neurosurgeon and helping people,” Samira Umurzokova, his sister said in a online post.
