Brown University Shooting Bombshell Update: Second Suspect Emerges, Delayed Police Response, and Ties to Campus Radicalism Exposed (December 18, 2025)

*Update: Person B contacted local police and cleared their name. They are a local homeless person who witnessed the suspected shooter acting strangely and confronted them. They were able to give description of the shooters car and the license plate number. The description matched that of the car seen fleeing the house of murdered MIT Professor Nuno Loureiro and is now believed to be the same person.*

Five days after the deadly mass shooting at Brown University's Barus and Holley building that claimed the lives of two students—including conservative leader Ella Cook—new revelations paint a picture of potential coordination, institutional failures, and ideological blind spots. Police have identified a second suspect seen in close proximity to the primary person of interest, while scanner recordings reveal officers delayed entry as the gunman escaped. Amid accusations of camera tampering to protect radicals and selective investigation tactics, questions mount: Is this a targeted act linked to Brown's pro-Palestine extremism?

Possible Targeting of Jewish Faculty and Radical Campus Ties

Emerging details point to antisemitic motives:

• The economics review session was led by a Jewish professor.

• Another Jewish faculty member lives near the suspects' pre-shooting paths.

• Barus and Holley has a documented history of antisemitic vandalism, including swastikas.

Brown has long been a hotbed for extreme pro-Palestine activism, with encampments, hunger strikes, and vocal support from some professors. Critics argue unchecked radicalism—blending anti-Israel rhetoric with anti-Jewish hate—created a toxic environment that may have fueled this violence.

Institutional Failures: Cameras Disabled and Delayed Response

Explosive claims surfaced at press conferences:

• Brown allegedly disabled or limited security cameras earlier in 2025 following guidance to protect "sanctuary" policies for radicals and undocumented individuals—prioritizing ideology over safety.

• Despite over 1,200 campus cameras, useful footage remains scarce.

• Newly uncovered police scanner audio shows officers staging outside during the active shooting, delaying entry and allowing the suspect's escape.

• Witnesses reportedly weren't promptly interviewed.

Brown's public safety chief—hired amid DEI focus—faces prior controversies, including no-confidence votes and claims of inadequate credentials. Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez oversees the probe amid personal scrutiny after his nephew was busted for running a local drug trafficking ring.

A Pattern of Leftist Extremism in 2025

This tragedy aligns with surging leftist violence targeting conservatives and institutions—from Charlie Kirk's assassination to ICE attacks. Selective campus mourning (focusing on one victim while ignoring Ella Cook) and stonewalling only deepen suspicions of bias.

As the manhunt drags on, demands grow for federal takeover and full transparency.
