Minneapolis, Minnesota – Following the tragic mass shooting on May 30 that resulted in the death of a Minneapolis police officer, another victim has succumbed to their injuries. 36-year-old Mohamed Aden passed away on Friday at Hennepin Healthcare due to multiple gunshot wounds sustained during the incident. The shooting occurred in an apartment building on the 200 block of Blaisdell Avenue, where Aden was critically injured nine days earlier.
Tragically, another individual was also found fatally shot in the same apartment building where Aden was attacked. The perpetrator, identified by the Minnesota BCA as Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed, initiated the violent confrontation that led to the death of Officer Jamal Mitchell as he approached the suspect.

In addition to Officer Mitchell’s tragic death, three others – including another officer, a firefighter, and a civilian – sustained injuries during the violent altercation. The community is mourning the loss of Mitchell, with memorial services scheduled for Tuesday in Maple Grove to honor his sacrifice and service.
