Chicago Police Chief Larry Snelling announced terrorism and hate crime charges against Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi after he allegedly shot an Orthodox Jewish man.
An illegal immigrant suspected of shooting a Jewish man multiple times as he made his way to a Chicago Synagogue is now facing terrorism and hate crime charges in connection to the incident.
Chicago Police Department Chief Larry Snelling announced during a press conference Thursday that Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22, was charged with one felony count of terrorism and one felony count of a hate crime.
"We want everybody to know that we will never tolerate violence that's rooted in hate and bigotry," Snelling said. "This shooting is deeply personal to members of our Jewish community. We know that. But this shooting should be personal to everyone across the city."
