Omar Abdulkadir Ali, a 25-year-old Somali refugee, was killed on April 17, 2017, in Columbus, Ohio. He and two companions — his brother Ali Abdulkadir Ali, 23, and their friend Mohammed Deq, 22 — had been visiting family and attending a soccer tournament when the three were sitting in a parked car outside a friend’s apartment building and were attacked in what police describe as an apparent attempted robbery. Omar was pronounced dead at the scene; his brother and friend were critically injured and taken to hospital.

Columbus Police investigated the shooting but had made no arrests, and no suspects had been identified. The family offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Omar had recently moved to Columbus, was known as an advocate for youth and a positive role model, and his death deeply affected his family and community.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing something outside the apartment building on April 17, 2017?
