Abdullahi Abdi-Mohamed
Abdullahi Abdi-Mohamed was 22 years old when he died at the Brown County Jail in Wisconsin on October 29, 2023, two days after he was booked there. His father said the family knew of no medical issues that could have caused his sudden death. The sheriff's office said he was found unresponsive in his cell early that Sunday morning and taken to Aurora BayCare Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, and that initial information did not indicate foul play or suicide. The sheriff's office and the medical examiner are investigating, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations says the family has received no information about the circumstances of his death and has called for a thorough investigation.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined (disputed). The sheriff's office says the death is under investigation and has released no further details, and CAIR-Minnesota says the family has received no information about the cause or events and has called for a thorough investigation.
Reported by: Brown County Sheriff's Office (the agency that held him); CAIR-Minnesota (advocates).
