MINNEAPOLIS – The man who killed a Minneapolis police in officer what’s being called an ambush was Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed. His name was released by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is in charge of the case. Mohamed, 35 was himself shot and killed Thursday by a second officer in an exchange of gunfire. Mohamed died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to a preliminary autopsy. Records show Mohamed had been prohibited from carrying a gun because of a 2007 burglary conviction. Muhamed was arrested again in 2022 when an officer reported he had a gun in a robbery – although, police said, he he had ditched the weapon and a holster before they caught him.
