On the evening of June 6, 2025, 15-year-old Sudais Abdi Omar was shot in the parking lot outside the Best Buy at Northtown Mall in Blaine, Minnesota. First responders arrived around 5:13–5:15 p.m.; Omar was taken to Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids with critical injuries and died there. He was identified as a Brooklyn Park resident and a freshman at Osseo High School. The mall briefly locked down while officers secured the scene.

Investigators said three males ran from the area after the gunfire. Law enforcement detained a 20-year-old man, named as Ayub Abdullahi Mohamed, and later charged him with aiding an offender to avoid arrest. A 15-year-old boy was also taken into custody in connection with the killing; authorities did not immediately release the juvenile’s name or specific charges. Detectives collected surveillance footage and interviewed witnesses as they continued to search for others seen fleeing the complex.

Did anyone see activity around Northtown Mall that evening or have information about those who fled the scene?
