A targeted shooting in a Fargo apartment stairwell left 28-year-old Nadin Khoury dead on the night of October 27, 2025. Khoury, a Black man and father-to-be, was found suffering multiple gunshot wounds on a second-floor landing of a building on the 2700 block of 41st Street South; a bystander began first aid and officers continued life-saving measures until he was taken to hospital and later pronounced dead about 45 minutes after discovery.

Police described the shooting as targeted and said Khoury and the shooter were acquainted. Investigators collected several bullet casings from the landing and noted no firearm was immediately found at the scene. An initial witness described the suspect as a Black male in a black shirt and gray sweatpants.

Less than 24 hours after the killing, 26-year-old Levi Larteh of Fargo was arrested at a Barnesville, Minnesota, gas station and booked on a murder charge before extradition to Cass County; charging documents described the shooting as an ambush and cited video from a neighbor’s Ring camera and city street cameras showing a man exit an apartment and position himself at the top of the landing before shots were heard. The autopsy findings were reported consistent with bullets fired from an upper landing. If anyone knew Nadin or has information about the stairwell shooting, please share details with investigators.
