20-year-old Augsburg student shot
An Augsburg student was fatally shot on Monday afternoon as he left a local community center in Minneapolis.
The man was identified as Ahmed Nur Ahmed Ali and, the Pioneer Press reports that officers arrived around 5 p.m., just after the shooting. Ali was found lying in the street and pronounced dead at the scene.
The Star Tribune reports that it was 20-year-old Ali’s first day of his work study program at the Brian Coyle Center in the Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis. Though it was during the day, police have no suspects or witnesses.
The Star Tribune reports that Ali was a Political Science and International Relations student at Augsburg College. On Tuesday, over 700 community members gathered at Foss Chapel in memory of Ali.
Since April, Ali is the third Somali man killed in Minneapolis. Police said they don’t believe Ali was involved in any criminal activity and that it’s too early to determine if these three killings are related.
