About Umurzokov
The American Uzbekistan Association shared the following
It is with profound sorrow that we mourn the tragic loss of MukhammadAziz Umurzokov, a bright and promising Uzbek American student who was killed on December 13, 2025, in the shooting at Brown University.
MukhammadAziz was known for his sharp intellect, kind heart, and quiet willingness to help anyone in need. He carried himself with humility and compassion, earning the respect and affection of those around him. His curiosity, discipline, and generosity reflected both his character and the values of the community that raised him.
More than a gifted student, Aziz was a beloved son, brother, and friend. He had a future filled with promise, and his life was cut short far too soon. His passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family, friends, classmates, and the broader Uzbek American community.
On behalf of the American Uzbekistan Association, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to MukhammadAziz’s family during this time of unimaginable grief. We stand with them in mourning and are grateful to all who have offered prayers, messages of support, and solidarity.
MukhammadAziz will be remembered for his kindness, his potential, and the light he brought into the lives of others. His memory will endure.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
Rest in peace, Aziz. You will not be forgotten.
