Police say they were looking for Abdullahi to see if he was connected to an armed robbery attempt down the street early Saturday morning by the Marathon Gas Station along North Washington Street.

Officers were called to Gustafson’s neighborhood shortly before the shooting by a neighbor who was aware of the earlier robbery attempt.

They say Gustafson was not cooperative with officers when they went to the door to see if Abdullahi was in her home.

Police still don’t know why Abdullahi was at Gustafson’s home or why he allegedly shot her in the neck area.
