Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in Salt Lake City announced Wednesday the arrest of Jibril Ali Ahmed, a 24-year-old Somali national and alleged Bloods gang member living in Murray, Utah.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Ahmed had previously been convicted of multiple crimes, including attempted murder, possession of a dangerous weapon, and rioting.
The charges stem from a 2021 incident at a 7-Eleven in Millcreek, Utah, according to KUTV. During the encounter, Ahmed and a companion attempted to purchase several items.
When the companion’s payment card was declined, Ahmed engaged in a heated argument with the store clerk before pulling a handgun from his waistband and opening fire.
Ahmed fired a total of six shots aimed at the clerk’s head, but the clerk managed to duck and take cover, avoiding injury.
Deseret News reported that responding officers found heavy gunfire damage to the store, shell casings inside, and multiple bullet holes around the front clerk counter.
Oxnard police were investigating gunfire around Southwinds Park that reportedly left several teens injured Tuesday night, March 4, 2025.
Seven shell casings were ultimately recovered. Surveillance footage allowed authorities to identify the getaway vehicle, leading them to Ahmed.
