4th Person Dies In Shooting That Killed MPLS Officer Jamal Mitchell

MINNEAPOLIS — A fourth person has died in the May 30 shooting on Blaisdell Avenue that took the life of Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Sunday that Mohamed Aden, 36 of Columbia Heights died on Friday, June 7 of complications from multiple gunshot wounds.

Aden was one of the two people shot inside an apartment by 35-year-old Mustafa Mohamed, authorities said. The other person — Osman Said Jimale, 32 — died in the apartment.

At about 5:15 p.m. on May 30, police received a call of two people shot inside an apartment complex on the 2200 block of Blaisdell Avenue South in the south Minneapolis neighborhood of Whittier.

Officer Mitchell was about two blocks from the complex when he noticed someone injured.

Mitchell approached to help, but Mustafa pulled a gun and shot Mitchell several times in an "ambush," police said.

Another officer arrived and exchanged gunfire with Mustafa, who was shot dead. The officer suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

When other officers searched the apartment complex two blocks away, they found the two people inside who had been shot, including Jimale, who was dead. The other person — Aden — was hospitalized in critical condition but later died.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is working with Minneapolis police investigators to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting deaths.

A memorial service for Mitchell is scheduled to take place Tuesday morning at Maple Grove Senior High School.

The shooting comes about three months after two officers and a firefighter-paramedic in the Minneapolis suburb of Burnsville were killed while responding to a sexual assault call inside a home.
