On the evening of September 10, 2021, 32-year-old Black/African American man Abdi Mohamed Abdi was shot and killed in Moorhead, Minnesota. Police were called about 8:00 p.m. to gunfire near 17th Street and 30th Avenue South; Abdi was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy confirmed death from those wounds.

Surveillance footage and court documents show Abdi had been sitting in a car at a gas station while companions went inside. A man later identified as Idris Haji-Mohamed spoke briefly to the car’s occupants, walked away, then allegedly returned in a vehicle, chased Abdi while firing, shot him twice during the chase, and then fired five additional shots at point-blank range after Abdi collapsed. The gunman reportedly dropped a wallet with identification while reloading.

Authorities arrested Haji-Mohamed three days later in Rochester; he was charged in connection with the killing. Another man, Ibrahim Abdiaziz Isaac, was arrested and later indicted on allegations he drove Haji-Mohamed to the area and provided the car. Prosecutors said the shooting did not appear random; no clear motive has been reported. If anyone knew Abdi, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
