A 17-year-old boy is suspected of killing a 21-year-old woman with a gunshot to the head in a Minneapolis duplex, and authorities have issued a warrant for the teen's arrest.
The Hennepin County attorney's office has filed a juvenile petition alleging murder by Ahmed Abdirahim Abdi, according to police spokesman John Elder.
Abdi, of Minneapolis, is accused of killing Ayan Abdi Abdulahi, of Bloomington, on April 11 at a home in the 2400 block of Portland Avenue.
Police say they believe "people are harboring Abdi and assisting in him avoid capture."
Police also caution that they "will aggressively pursue charges" against those who might be helping Abdi elude law enforcement.
Abdi is described as black, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is 6 feet, 1 inch and weighs 165 pounds.
He also has red and black tattoos on the back of his hands of dog paw prints with the word "BIG" on the back of his right hand and "DOG" on the back of the left.
Neighbors said a resident came upon the body after he awoke from a nap and called police.
