On March 20, 2004, 23-year-old Mohamed Omar, a Somali man, was driving north on 14th Street near J Street in San Diego when a passenger in a nearby vehicle fired several shots into Omar’s car. Omar was wounded and later died of his injuries.

Earlier that day he and his brother had been involved in a fight with a group of males; it is not known whether that same group was connected to the shooting. Investigators asked anyone with information to contact the San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit or San Diego County Crime Stoppers, which offered a reward.

If anyone knew Mohamed, saw activity on 14th Street near J Street on March 20, 2004, or has information about the earlier altercation, please contact the San Diego Police Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers.
