BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — Brooklyn Park police say a man is in custody in connection with a fatal shooting outside a market back in the summer of 2021.
Alameen Allah Shabazz was walking by the Nice Family African Market, 7401 Regent Ave. N on June 22 when someone sitting inside a car started shooting. The 22-year-old Shabazz was struck, and later died at a local hospital.
In a news release police say detectives who have "worked tirelessly investigating this case" pursued leads that led them to Bedford County, Virginia, where a man was taken into custody Wednesday by local authorities. That man is currently being held in Virginia awaiting extradition to Minnesota on charges of second-degree murder.
Brooklyn Park police say they were assisted in the case by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Marshal's Service.
