Suspects ID'd In Shakopee Craiglist Robbery, Shooting At Walmart
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Two men in their early 20s are in custody after a Craigslist transaction turned into a shooting Tuesday night outside a Shakopee Walmart.
Shakopee Police say one of the suspects met with the victim at the entryway of the Walmart for a cell phone transaction at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. One of the suspects, while holding the phone, fled to the parking lot to a van waiting with the other suspect.
Police say the victim chased the suspect, and the suspect turned around and pointed a gun at the victim, who darted behind a shopping cart and pulled out his weapon, which he had a permit for. The victim fired at the suspect as he jumped into the van, and the suspects fled.
The store was briefly put on lockdown as a result of the incident.
The suspects were identified as 21-year-old Mohamed Mohamud Hassan of Eden Prairie and 20-year-old Abdimalik Ahmed Aden of Minneapolis.
