Newly released bodycam footage captures the October 26 2024 shootout between Chicago police and Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, an illegal immigrant from Africa who was allowed to enter the US under the Biden-Harris administration. The Muslim immigrant had shot a Chicago Jewish man who was walking to synagogue after shouting ‘Allahu Akbar.’

The Muslim survived the shootout and was facing terrorism and hate crimes charges in the United States over the October shooting of the Jewish man. He subsequently hung himself in jail.

Sidi Mohammad Abdallahi, 22, a Mauritanian national, was seriously injured in a firefight with police following the shooting and had been held in the prison infirmary.

The Cook County Jail’s Sheriff’s Office said Sunday Abdallahi was found dead in an “apparent suicide attempt by hanging” in his cell at around 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Cermak Health Services. Emergency services took Abdallahi to Mt. Sinai Hospital where staff declared him dead.

There had been no prior indications Abdallahi was at risk of taking his own life, there was no evidence of foul play, and medical officials would be conducting an autopsy, the sheriff’s office said.

Alderman Debra Silverstein, who has said that she attended the same synagogue as the victim and in whose district the shooting happened, told the Chicago Sun-Times she hoped the development would “bring a small measure of closure” to the community. “But we would still like to find out all the details about what happened,” she noted.

The Sun-Times reported that at a detention hearing on November 22, prosecutors said that Abdallahi had marked out the locations of several Chicago synagogues and Jewish schools in the days before the shooting.

Abdallahi was charged with attempted murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm at a peace officer or firefighter, aggravated discharge of a firearm, hate crimes and terrorism.

During the October 26 incident, police say he shot a 39-year-old Orthodox Jewish man whose identity has not been released, while the latter was walking to Congregation KINS in Chicago’s heavily Jewish neighborhood of West Rogers Park, hitting him in the shoulder. The victim was released from the hospital later the same day.

The shooting led to criticism of Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, in the latest chapter in the official’s rocky relationship with the local Jewish community, after his statement of condemnation of the shooting did not mention the fact the victim was Jewish.

Abdallahi was a 22-year-old Mauritanian national who entered the United States through San Diego in March 2023. He was screened by border agents and released into the country without any known criminal or terrorist history at the time of his entry.

Abdallahi was charged with multiple counts including terrorism, hate crime, attempted murder, and aggravated discharge of a firearm.

He, at least, did a nice thing by killing himself. He won’t be any burden on the system that way. More criminals should follow suit.

He probably heard stories about what the inmates were going to do to him once he got released to the general population.

Terrible trigger discipline, not reloading for a good 10 seconds, yelling and swearing at your partners, and loads more. That's what you get when you defund the police.

what kind of shitty directions were those? "turn over your stomach!" ...what?

Good grief what a shitshow police are in that area.
