Fourth person dies from injuries in Minneapolis shooting that also killed police officer

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A fourth person has died from injuries sustained in late May mass shooting in Minneapolis which also killed a police officer.

Mohamed Aden, 36, of Columbia Heights, died Friday of complications from multiple gunshot wounds he suffered in the May 30 shooting, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said in a news release Sunday. .

Aden was one of two people shot to death in an apartment by Mustafa Mohamed, 35, according to police. Osman Said Jimale, 32, died in the apartment.

Officer Jamal Mitchell was the first to respond to reports of the shooting and approached Mohamed outside the apartment. When Mitchell asked if Mohamed had been injured, Mohamed pulled out a gun and shot Mitchell multiple times in what investigators called a ambush.

Another officer arrived and exchanged gunfire with Mohamed, who died from his injuries. The second officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Another person, believed to be a bystander, was shot and taken to hospital in critical condition. A firefighter who responded to the scene was also slightly injured.

A memorial service for Mitchell has been set for Tuesday morning at Maple Grove Senior High School in Maple Grove, Minnesota.

Investigators did not say what led to shooting or speculated on the shooter's motivations.
