A Muslim man accused of shooting a Jewish man and firing at police officers in Chicago last month had researched the locations of synagogues and Jewish schools in the days leading up to the attack, prosecutors said during a detention hearing Friday.
Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, an undocumented immigrant from Mauritania, allegedly used his phone to identify potential targets in the West Rogers Park neighborhood before the October 26 shooting. Among the addresses found on his phone was Ezrat Israel, a synagogue located one block from the shooting site.

“This was not anything but a planned attack … an attempted assassination of these people,” Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord Rodgers according to The Yeshiva World. “This was a calculated plan, on a public street… and an attempted slaughter of that person and law enforcement officers.”
