Run of fatal shootings has alarmed even veteran police officers

Abdirahman Mohamed pushed his way through the crowd that gathered at Karmel Mall on Tuesday afternoon, in search of answers.

What he got instead was only frustration — a day after his father was gunned down on a south Minneapolis street, police still didn’t know who shot him or why.

“The killings are like a cancer in our community,” said Mohamed, who drove 14 hours through the night from his home in Nashville after hearing the news that his father, Abdi Haji Mohamed Liiban, had been killed Monday afternoon. “They have to be stopped.”
