Dahir Ahmed Abdirahman, 29, was found shot to death on the night of April 11, 2014, in a parked car in the Longfellow neighborhood of south Minneapolis. Police discovered him alongside 24-year-old Tahany Abdi Omar Erbob after responding to reports of gunfire; both victims were pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities said the attack did not appear random and treated it as a targeted killing, though no clear motive has been publicly disclosed.

Abdirahman had been recently released from prison for a 2008 conviction for felony robbery and terroristic threats, and investigators believed the slayings were tied into ongoing tensions linked to Somali-American gang rivalries that had claimed other lives in preceding years. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open. The murders heightened concern in Minneapolis’ Somali community and prompted calls for greater police engagement and efforts to address youth violence.

If anyone knew Dahir Ahmed Abdirahman or has information about that night, please share what you know with investigators.
