Faisal A. Abukar, 33, of Saint Paul was shot during an altercation at a Marathon gas station near the Twin Cities Premium Outlets in Eagan, Minnesota, on December 18, 2021. The shooting happened around 7 p.m.; Abukar was taken to a nearby hospital and died the next day.

Witnesses reported seeing a Somali man in a hooded sweatshirt and dark pants flee toward a nearby outlet mall. Surveillance footage shows two cars pulling up next to each other and a scuffle between occupants before the driver of a sedan exited and shot Abukar once in the head. The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Sakaria Osman Ahmed, was arrested within minutes and found in possession of a loaded 9-millimeter handgun. He was charged with second-degree murder in Dakota County.

Anyone who was at the outlet area or the gas station that evening and saw what happened is asked to come forward with information.
