Kaisar Feisel Nur
Two men accused of participating in a May 7 shooting on North Broadway have pleaded guilty in the case.
Kaisar Faisal Nur, 29, and Abdulkadir Omar Abukar, 26, were both charged after the incident with one count each of second-degree attempted murder, aid and abet; dangerous weapons-drive by shooting, aid and abet; and second-degree assault, aid and abet.
All are felonies.
Both pleaded guilty Monday to the weapons charge; in exchange for the plea, the remaining counts are expected to be dismissed.
Abukar's sentencing has been set for Friday; Nur is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 4.
Olmsted County District Court Judge Debra Jacobson ordered them to be held without bail until sentencing.
The first calls came in at 12:54 p.m. the day of the shooting, sending officers to the area of 12th Street Northwest and Broadway; one of the callers was the 36-year-old victim.
The man said he'd learned in the last few days that three males in a black Impala were looking for him — and wanted to kill him in retaliation for a criminal case from several years ago, said Capt. John Sherwin.
A friend had told the man that late on May 6, the vehicle with three men inside was in the parking lot of the victim's apartment complex, three spaces away from the victim's wife's car.
According to the complaint, Abukar had called the victim a "snitch" in the past, saying the man would be dead by the summer.
About 12:45 p.m. May 7, the victim was driving on Broadway Avenue when he saw a black Impala "speed up behind him on Broadway," Sherwin said, with three men inside. The three had their hoods pulled up over their heads.
The victim took several evasive measures to lose the Impala, the report says, including running a red light. The suspects' vehicle eventually pulled up beside the victim's car at the stop sign on 12th Street and Broadway, where the front and rear
passengers fired shots at him, the man said.
Witnesses reported seeing a man "hanging out the passenger window of a black vehicle with a handgun," the reports say, adding that the men were "hooded up."
The victim was able to identify one of the shooters as a one-eyed male named Kaisar, and the driver was a man known as "Blanco," the court document says; police knew Blanco to be an alias for the third man, Abdirahman Abdulkadir Abdullahi, 25, who was
arrested four days later. He's also known on the street as "Benny," reports say.
The man identified the front passenger as "She Devil," known to law enforcement as Abukar, the document continues.
Additional officers and investigators were called in to help with the investigation, Sherwin said. One knew of a YouTube rap video involving the suspects named by the victim, who later watched the video and made a positive identification of all three.
The man said Nur was in the back seat behind the driver, and pointed a gun out the window at him. Various witnesses allege the driver and front seat passenger also fired shots, the reports say.
About four hours later, an officer spotted the Impala on 55th Street Northwest and followed it until a marked squad car could arrive and conduct a traffic stop, the report says.
The vehicle was stopped in the parking lot of Newt's North, 5231 E. Frontage Road; four men in the car were taken into custody for questioning, including Nur and Abukar. No weapons were found.
The victim's car was hit by three rounds, the report says: twice on the front passenger side and once on the rear passenger side. At least four shell casings were found on the ground near North Broadway and 12th Street Northwest, Sherwin said.
The shooting is apparently related to two shootings in April. In the first of those incidents , 16 shots were fired at a man as he sat in his vehicle in a northeast Rochester cul-de-sac; the gunman was behind a tree in a nearby yard.
Two nights later , that victim's brother was outside an apartment building with a friend, smoking a cigarette, when he was approached by two or three men, at least one of whom had a handgun. The two men "took off running," the report says, and were fired
on.
No injuries were reported in either shooting.
