Ahmed Ibrahim Cariif, 22, was fatally shot in the parking lot of the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Lakeville on June 29, 2024. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide, listing a gunshot wound to the chest as the cause. Reports say the confrontation began over a missing flashlight attachment for a handgun during overnight shifts and escalated into a physical struggle at about 4 a.m. when a coworker, 24-year-old Mohamed Aden Hared, drew a firearm and fired two shots; one struck Cariif and killed him at the scene.

Hared, who held a permit to carry and had been arrested at the scene, was charged with second-degree intentional murder and was ordered held on $2 million bail without conditions; his next scheduled court appearance was July 15, 2024. Cariif, known as Yaro, was born February 13, 2002, in Nairobi, Kenya, and enjoyed playing soccer. This was the second fatal shooting reported in that facility’s parking lot in recent years.

Does anyone have information about that overnight shift or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
