Ali Mohamed Omar was 25 when he was killed in Minneapolis on August 30, 2011. He was gunned down in what investigators believe was a targeted attack, but the exact circumstances of the shooting have not been established and no arrest has been made.

The case has remained unsolved amid limited evidence and a lack of cooperative witnesses. Investigators have periodically revisited the file searching for new leads, but Omar’s family continues to await answers and justice. The case is among several unsolved homicides in Minneapolis that highlight barriers to solving violent crimes in the city’s most affected communities.

If anyone has information about Ali Mohamed Omar or the shooting on August 30, 2011, please come forward to the Minneapolis Police Department.
