Mohamed Deq Mohamed, a 22-year-old male of Somali ethnicity, died of wounds sustained in a shooting in Columbus, Ohio. He and two friends from Rochester were visiting Columbus for a soccer tournament when the three were targeted in an attempted robbery on April 17, 2017. One companion, Omar Abdulkadir Ali, 25, was pronounced dead at the scene; the other, Ali Abdulkadir Ali, 23, and Mohamed were taken to Mt. Carmel West Hospital in critical condition. Mohamed succumbed to his injuries on April 22, 2017.

Investigators say the shooting was likely motivated by the attempted robbery. No arrests have been announced, and the families of Mohamed and the Ali brothers offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. The case remains open and Columbus police continue to seek tips.

Did anyone in the Columbus area see or hear anything about an attempted robbery near where the men were staying during the tournament?
