Ahmed Mohamed was 29 when he was shot to death on August 4, 2021, near 20th and National Avenue on Milwaukee’s south side. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Milwaukee Police detectives investigated, interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage. Investigators say a dispute with several people may have escalated into the shooting. A key witness later provided information that led to the identification and arrest of two suspects, who were charged with first-degree intentional homicide and related offenses.

Prosecutors relied on forensic evidence and witness testimony at trial while defense attorneys argued the case against their clients was largely circumstantial. The jury returned guilty verdicts and the two were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.

If anyone who knew Ahmed or saw activity around 20th and National Avenue that day has information, please share it with Milwaukee police.
