Teen charged in Halloween double homicide in Brooklyn Park

A 16-year-old was charged Tuesday with two counts of aiding and abetting premeditated murder in the double homicide of two 16-year-old cousins in Brooklyn Park.

Jaqual Ditez Sims-Miller of Brooklyn Park is accused of taking part in the fatal shooting around 5 p.m. on Oct. 31, Halloween. In a petition to certify him as an adult, prosecutors say Sims-Miller admitted to shooting one victim. Police say there is another suspect who has not been named or charged.

Chardid Hachi Farah of Minneapolis died late Friday at North Memorial Health Hospital. He had been on life support since he was shot along with his cousin, Diriye Abdi Muhumed. A street outreach group went to the crime scene near the intersection of Zane Court and Zane Avenue to divert trick-or-treaters.
