On the night of April 11, 2014, at about 9:30 p.m., Minneapolis police found two people shot to death in a car parked behind an apartment building near Lake Street and 29th Avenue in the Longfellow neighborhood. Tahany Abdi Omar Erbob, 24, of Columbia Heights, and Dahir Ahmed Abdirahman, 29, of Minneapolis, had both sustained multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. The Hennepin County medical examiner confirmed the identities and cause of death as gunshot wounds.

Authorities described the incident as not random and said investigators suspected a link to ongoing gang conflicts within the Somali community, including a rivalry reportedly involving the Somali Outlaws and the Madhibaan with Attitude. Community leaders criticized the Minneapolis Police Department’s outreach after the killings; a meeting to discuss the violence and cooperation with police was held on April 14, 2014, at the Brian Coyle Community Center in Cedar Riverside. No arrests had been announced and the investigation remained open.

If anyone has information about Tahany Erbob or Dahir Abdirahman, their movements that night, or the reported gang rivalry, please come forward.
