Sadiyo Ibrahim Mohamed Charged With Murder After Child She Allegedly Beat Dies
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Woodbury mother previously charged with assault and attempted murder after allegedly beating her children and chasing them down the street is now charged with murder after one of the children died.
An amended complaint charges 32-year-old Sadiyo Ibrahim Mohamed with second-degree murder and second-degree assault. Her 5-year-old daughter was taken off life support and died Wednesday morning, according to the complaint.
The complaint states that police were called to the scene at 12:45 a.m. May 26 after multiple 911 calls reported that a woman was chasing a child through the neighborhood. When officers arrived at Lake View Alcove, they found a boy running away from Mohamed.
Mohamed was taken into custody shortly after.
Officers then heard several people yelling that there was a dead child in the street. They found a 5-year-old girl lying surrounded by a puddle of blood. She had shallow breathing and was unresponsive so was taken to Regions Hospital with her brother, who had a possible broken arm.
Inside of the house, officers found a 3-year-old child, who was unharmed.
Out on the sidewalk in front of the house, officers found a pool of blood and a long, skinny object. The boy said in an interview that his mother had kicked him out of the house and had hit his sister multiple times with what he described as a gray cylindrical object about 12 inches long.
In a Miranda interview, Mohamed said she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had been off her medications for a couple of months. She said she suffered hallucinations and according to the complaint, said she "wasn't sure if her kids were the devil or a demon which made her question if she should hurt them or not."
At the end of the interview, she said she was sick, confused, and could not take care of her kids or herself.
Mohamed remains in custody.
