Guess the alleged shooter's name.
There was a detention hearing on Friday with Sidi Mohamed [yes, I said Mohamed] Abdallahi. He used his cellphone to find potential targets in the area before the shooting on October 26th. His target was a 39-year-old Jewish man who was guilty of walking to his synagogue to worship on the Sabbath, according to Yeshiva News World. In addition, he also searched for a gun store and a firing range in the area.
Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord Rodgers said, "This was not anything but a planned attack … an attempted assassination of these people. This was a calculated plan, on a public street… and an attempted slaughter of that person and law enforcement officers."
Abdallahi, a Muslim, has been in the US illegally for two years. He appeared in court on Friday for the first time since being hospitalized due to gunshot wounds he earned in a shootout with the police.

Law enforcement said that there was data on Abdallahi's phone of saved locations and synagogues. He also conducted internet searches for “Jewish Community Center” days before the attack. Prosecutors also stated that the phone contained hundreds of anti-Semitic and pro-Hamasshole videos.
After the attack, local officials failed to report it as a hate crime or terrorism because, after all, it was planned against, you know, Jews, despite Abdallahi yelling "Allahu Akbar," as the viral video of the shooting shows.
McCord Rodgers added, “This was a targeted attack against the Jewish community.”
The video [above] does not report that hate crime charges have been filed but as of today, they have.
The visibly Jewish victim [he wore a kippah or yarmulke and looked intelligent] was walking in the 2900 block of West Farwell Avenue when Abdallahi opened fire from behind him. The Jewish victim told investigators that he heard the gunshot and felt pain in his shoulder but didn’t realize he had been shot until noticing a hole in his jacket.
The shooting was captured on surveillance footage. Abdallahi was heard screaming “Allahu Akbar” and was seen running away while attempting to clear his semi-automatic pistol, which jammed because he probably didn't clean it. He returned to the scene on foot for his car and, according to prosecutors, Abdallahi fired two shots at police officers and paramedics who were tending to the victim at the scene. He then got into a firefight with officers and hit an ambulance twice before being shot by police.
Despite his injuries, Abdallahi fired at officers again before collapsing, but the cops didn't kill him because jihads only work one way.
