Khalid Ibrahim Abdi, 26, was killed after an altercation outside the Canterbury Park Expo Center in Shakopee, Minnesota, on May 27, 2026. He had been attending an Eid al-Adha prayer service with his wife, who was pregnant with their first child, and worked as a union leader and field representative for AFSCME Council 5. According to authorities, a man later identified as 28-year-old Mohamed Abdirizak Rage approached them, allegedly sought a fight, followed the couple through the parking lot while recording on a cell phone, and produced a handgun during a physical confrontation. Abdi tried to flee and hide but was struck by one or two shots to the torso. He was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he died.

Rage turned himself in the day after the shooting and was charged with second-degree murder and an illegal weapons offense; court records show a prior conviction for third-degree assault that would have prohibited firearm possession. A phone belonging to Rage was reportedly found at the scene and handed to police by Abdi’s wife. No motive has been publicly stated by prosecutors. Anyone who knew Khalid Abdi or witnessed the incident is asked to come forward with information.
