The brother of the Parkland gunman Nikolas Cruz was arrested last week for allegedly trespassing at three Virginia schools, authorities said. 

Zachary Cruz, 24, was initially seen on Jan. 25 at the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center Complex in Fishersville, the August County Sheriff’s Office said. That incident prompted an investigation involving the sheriff’s office, the Woodrow Wilson Police Department, and the Virginia State Police. 

During the probe, investigators reviewed surveillance footage from Augusta County Public Schools. It showed Cruz going into the properties of Wilson Middle School, Wilson Memorial High School, and the Valley Career and Technical Center on Jan. 25, authorities said.

He was released on Feb. 6. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the school district. 

In 2018, Cruz was arrested for alleged trespassing on the property of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where his brother shot and killed 17 people — 14 students and three staff members — in one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history. He was sentenced in 2022 to life in prison.

Zachary Cruz’s arrest sheet in that case said he wanted to “reflect on the school shooting and to soak it in.”
