Woodbury man ID'd as latest of Minneapolis' 68 homicide victims this year

October 20, 2020 at 10:49AM

A man shot late last week and found dead in a south Minneapolis neighborhood has been identified, authorities said.

Mohamed Abdirasak Ahmed, 25, of Woodbury, was shot multiple times Wednesday night in the 3500 block of S. 19th Avenue and died at the scene, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said.

Police had yet to announce an arrest in connection with Ahmed's death, the latest of the city's 68 homicides so far this year.

The victim and suspect or suspects likely knew each other, police said.
