Eden Prairie Man Killed His 7-Year-Old Brother: Police

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN — A 28-year-old Eden Prairie man is accusing of kiling his 7-year-old brother.

Dalal Bayle Idd was charged Friday with second-degree murder (with intent, not premeditated). If convicted, he faces up to 40 years in prison.

Idd remains in custody at the Hennepin County Jail on a $1,500,000 bail.

The child who killed was identified by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner as Abdullahi Adod Gelle.

On Sept. 12, 911 received a series of phone calls from Idd, who said "I just did something" and what he did was "for the greater good" and that "God told me to do something to prove that I’m not God," according to the criminal complaint.

Emergency personnel was dispatched to the man's parents' home in Eden Prairie. At the home, Idd told police that he was afraid his mother might try to kill him because “I’ve done something that may have her want to kill me," investigators said. He was taken to the hospital for evaulation.

While at the home, police found two children sleeping in their beds and a third child — 7 years old — who was unconscious and not breathing, according to the criminal complaint.

Officers attempted life-saving measures and transported the boy to the hospital, where he was declared dead. The doctor observed petechial hemorrhaging "in many places" on the child's body, authorities said.

Idd has previous convictions for first-degree assault and aggravated robbery, according to court documents.
