On January 20, 2026, at approximately 7:30 P.M., R. H. Was sitting in his running, black Toyota Rav 4 in an alley by his house in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, when two males tapped on his window and told him to get out of the car. One of the males was armed with a light-colored firearm and told R. H. To get out of the car and give them his phone. R. H. Complied and the males then left in the black Toyota. Police were called and aerial surveillance located the black Toyota in Saint Paul, MN, and observed another white sedan pull up next to the black Toyota, and two people exited the black Toyota and placed a rifle bag from the trunk of the black Toyota into the white sedan.
Both vehicles then drove away and then stopped and all occupants got into the white sedan. The white sedan was then located and stopped using a PIT maneuver by law enforcement. There were five occupants inside. The rear driver passenger was identified as Mohammed Abdirashid ([DOB REDACTED]), hereafter defendant. There was a white extended magazine on the floorboard where the defendant had been sitting, which matched the description of the weapon given by R. H. There was also a Glock firearm with a tan/white extended magazine located on the floorboard behind the driver seat.
Defendant had R. H.'s checkbook on his person at the time of his arrest and was identified as one of the persons that took R. H.'s car. The defendant is in custody.
