Fourteen-year-old Abdikadir Mohamed, a Westport Middle School student born in Kenya, was shot on December 25, 2016 in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and was taken to University Hospital, where he remained for more than two weeks with his family at his side.

Mohamed died at the hospital on the afternoon of January 12, 2017; the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a criminal homicide and listed it among Louisville’s 2016 homicides. Family members said he was a good boy who may have fallen in with the wrong crowd and described the two weeks in the hospital as excruciating.

Louisville Metro Police reported no identified suspects or arrests in the immediate aftermath, and the case was listed among open 2016 homicides. Did anyone in the Portland or Westport Middle School community have information about Abdikadir or the shooting?
