Abdi Haji Muhammed Liban, a 32-year-old Minneapolis resident, was killed on October 19, 2015. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates. Witnesses reported seeing a person flee the scene shortly after the shooting.

Authorities later identified Suleiman Ali, then 30 at arrest, as a suspect. Ali reportedly fled the country after the killing and was located and arrested in Grand Forks, North Dakota, in 2022 after a decade-long search. Prosecutors say a torn piece of cloth from the crime scene matched Ali’s DNA, and a witness testified that Ali called a woman on the day of the murder asking for money to leave the country and admitted to shooting Liban because security footage had captured him at the scene. Ali was charged with second-degree murder and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office requested $2 million bail. His next court hearing was set for May 16, 2024.

If anyone knew Liban, saw activity in that neighborhood on October 19, 2015, or has information about the events described, please come forward.
