On September 7, 2018, 32-year-old Liban Mohamed Abdulahi of Burnsville, Minnesota, was found shot to death inside a car in the parking lot behind the Hard Times Cafe on Riverside Avenue in Minneapolis. Officers responded to the scene around 7:20 p.m. after receiving reports of shots fired. Upon arrival, they discovered Abdulahi's body, and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner later determined that he had died from multiple gunshot wounds.
The investigation into Abdulahi's death led to
the arrest of a suspect. Shire Basal, a 16-year-old, was charged with one count of second-degree murder in connection with the shooting. The incident occurred at the Emerson Street Market, where Basal allegedly shot Abdulahi. The details surrounding the motive for the shooting and the events leading up to it remain under investigation by the Minneapolis police.
