Case Story |
|
| |
Mayhem and Murder |
|
| |
Police in Windsor, Ontario say that in the early morning hours of December 22, 2007, a party at the Box Office -- an after-hours bar in their city -- got a little raucous. They say two of the patrons, likely drunk, spilled outside of the club into a back alley.
The two men were, according to investigators, initially just playfully jawing. But before long, cops say a fist fight broke out between the two and a few onlookers.
Cops say that 20-year-old Luis Acosta-Escobar was also outside and he stepped in to break up the fight. As he separated the participants, cops say Mohamud Abukar Hagi rounded the corner with a handgun and fired into the group.
Detectives say that Hagi's bullet hit Luis in his chest. Witnesses told cops that Luis turned and tried to get back inside the club, but as he did, Hagi fired again, striking Luis in the back. |

Cops: Killer Fled The Shooting |
|

Luis collapsed before he could get back to the club. Cops say he died a short time later at a nearby hospital.
Amid the chaos of the shooting, police say Hagi fled the scene. Nearby, cops found a white hat, a brown jacket, a white t-shirt and a handgun. Detectives say it is the gun used in the murder, and that Hagi likely ditched his clothes. Hagi was also seen that night in dark jeans.
Upon arrival, officers from the Windsor Police Service say that eyewitnesses quickly identified the shooter as Mohamud "Uh Oh" Hagi. Hagi, a Somali national, knew Luis, the men who had been fighting in the alley, and many of the witnesses. Cops say no one knows why Hagi came around the corner with his gun drawn and fired. Hagi's friends have told cops that he behaves irrationally when he drinks, and he had been drinking that night. |

Hagi Is Somali Immigrant |
|
| |
Luis, 20, leaves behind a young son, a grieving family and a girlfriend. Cops say he was definitely not a participant in the fight and he was clearly trying to resolve the situation.
Additionally, even though detectives have been able to determine that the victim and the accused shooter knew each other, they say there is no clear motive for the killing.
In an ironic twist, Hagi's older brother -- Ahmed Abukar Hagi -- is serving time in the Canadian federal prison system for a shooting at the same location. Ahmed Hagi was convicted of attempting to kill a man outside of the Box Office in November 2006.
Police believe that Mohamud Hagi is moving through Canada, possibly shielded from cops by fellow Somali immigrants. They say that Hagi was likely in Toronto in late December, but may have since moved on to other Somali communities within Canada or the United States. |
