Authorities have identified a Minneapolis man who was fatally shot late Sunday night near the Cedar Cultural Center.

Alamagan Mohamed Abdullahi, 25, died of multiple gunshot wounds after being taken to the Hennepin County Medical Center, according to a report released Wednesday from the Hennepin County medical examiner's office.

Police responded to the shooting around 10:45 p.m. Sunday in the 400 block of Cedar Avenue S., near Riverside Avenue. Two people were seen fleeing the area.

No arrests have been made. Police said in a statement that the violence "does not appear to be a random incident."

A bystander told the Star Tribune that two men attempted to save Abdullahi's life by administering CPR at the scene, but their attempts were not successful.

Three people confirmed in interviews that the victim is the son of a prominent Somali poet, Mahamud Abdullahi Isse, also known as Sangub. The father is believed to be living in Somalia.

Minneapolis Police and medical examiner investigations are ongoing.

Staff writers Paul McEnroe and Paul Walsh contributed to this report.
