Mohamed died from multiple gunshot wounds Thursday night outside an apartment complex on Blaisdell Avenue South.

Mohamed was convicted of felony burglary in 2008. Court records show he had an active warrant for his arrest.

Mohamed was convicted on federal charges in 2016 of being a felon in possession of ammunition, according to court records.

The shooting happened just after 5 p.m. Thursday night on the 2200 block of Blaisdell Avenue South.

The shooting took place at an apartment complex and two additional people were injured.  As a result of multiple gunshot wounds, Mitchell, 32, passed away.

An additional person was wounded after being shot outside the apartment complex.

As police were responding to the shooting, Mitchell was ambushed while trying to help a potential victim.

“What I can tell you is that Officer Mitchell was attempting to assist the individual that shot him,” BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said at a press conference Thursday night.

As a result of the shooting, both an officer and a firefighter were injured. They have since been discharged from the hospital.

Police say that Joanna Rowland-Stuart, a biological male who identifies as female, killed his husband, Andrew, at their home in Brighton Monday evening. The BBC reported that he appeared before magistrates in Crawley on Friday.

Rowland-Stuart, who claims he’s deaf, confirmed his identity through a sign language interpreter after being arrested according to the Daily Mail.

The Mail reported that emergency services responded to an incident at the 15th-floor flat on Lavender Street in Brighton at approximately 7:30 PM on Monday, May 27. Police officers discovered Andrew dead at the scene.

The officers revealed that Andrew was killed by a samurai sword, not exactly an ordinary weapon of choice. It is not known at this point whether the suspect is a fan of Japanese culture.

Detective Chief Inspector Alex Campbell of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, released the following statement in response to the incident:

This is a fast-moving investigation, and our inquiries are ongoing as we seek to establish the full circumstances which led to Andrew’s tragic death.

Our thoughts remain with his loved ones at this difficult time.

In the meantime, we are urging the public not to speculate, but to come forward with any information which may be able to assist us.

Sussex Police have also asked individuals with information on the incident to contact their Major Incident Portal or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously.

The Mail reports Rowland-Stuart has been ordered to appear again in Crown Court on June 3.
