Overview
- Anas Mursal Mohamed, 18, was taken into custody on a warrant Wednesday morning after Hennepin County filed charges tied to last week’s gunfire outside Rapson Hall.
- The counts include threats of violence, aiding and abetting second-degree riot while armed, reckless discharge within a municipality, and two illegal firearm possession charges.
- Court documents describe video showing the shooter firing twice, arriving in a car registered to Mohamed, discarding a hoodie, and moving with four other men who appeared to be searching for someone.
- Investigators recovered two spent casings near the scene, a 10mm Glock and the discarded sweatshirt, and later found a loaded 9mm handgun under the driver’s seat of Mohamed’s vehicle.
- Mohamed was arrested during a Sept. 19 traffic stop and released about 36 hours later pending charges; no injuries were reported, the event was evacuated, and prosecutors say additional charges remain possible as the investigation continues.
