Court records state that on May 10, 2025, Mohamed shot an 18-year-old in the face at Kelley Park in Apple Valley.
The criminal complaint says that Mohamed was at the park looking for his sister with two friends when he got into an argument with others at the park, pulled out a gun from his hoodie, started to hit people with it, and pointed it at one person.
The shooting victim arrived after getting a call from someone saying, “If you don’t come back, I’m going to kill your friend,” the court document says.
Witnesses reportedly tried to warn the victim that Mohamed was going to shoot before Mohamed reportedly fired the gun at the victim about 100 feet away in the face.
The victim required emergency surgery for numerous life-threatening injuries, including trauma to the face and neck.

When officers talked to Mohamed, he admitted to going to the park to find his sister and said that he began shooting at a car that went speeding into the park, but said that he didn’t know who was in the car and that they were shooting back at him, the complaint states.
Law enforcement said they found no evidence of shots being fired from inside the victim’s car.
