On February 27, 2022, Mohamud Abdi Mohamed, a 23-year-old resident of Minneapolis, MN, was tragically killed. The incident occurred in the early morning hours, and Mohamed was found with fatal gunshot wounds. The Minneapolis Police Department responded to the scene and initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
The primary suspect in the case was identified as Idris Abdillahi Haji-Mohamed.
Haji-Mohamed, who was already known to law enforcement due to a previous indictment for the September 2021 shooting death of Abdi Abdi in Moorhead, MN, was taken into custody shortly after the incident. He was booked for probable cause murder, and charges were pending at the time of his arrest.
Haji-Mohamed, who was in his late twenties, had a history of violent offenses and had been released from custody on a substantial bond prior to the February 2022 incident. The arrest of Haji-Mohamed brought some relief to the community, although the investigation continued to ensure all involved parties were held accountable.
