Fifteen-year-old Mohamed Abdulkadir was killed in a drive-by shooting on September 18, 2017, in the Blacklick area near Columbus, Ohio. The shooting happened in the afternoon on Churchside Chase Drive shortly after Mohamed returned home from school; he was found in a driveway critically injured and pronounced dead at about 4:20 p.m. Mohamed was a student at Licking Heights High School.

Authorities received a 911 call reporting a drive-by shooting, but as of the last update there were no known suspects or witnesses who had come forward and the motive remained unknown. The death was counted among Columbuss homicides in 2017 and prompted a vigil at Licking Heights High School; the Somali community and the school district mobilized support, with counseling offered to students and staff. Mohamed’s family arranged funeral and burial services soon after his death.

Does anyone who lived in the Blacklick area on September 18, 2017, or who attended Licking Heights, have information that could help investigators?
