Woman who stole journalist Nick Sortor camera identified as Subeyda Mohamed
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Authorities are investigating a robbery and assault incident involving journalist Nick Sortor, who reported that his camera equipment was stolen and that he was dragged along a sidewalk during the suspects’ escape.
According to statements provided by Sortor, the incident occurred in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, where multiple individuals allegedly took his camera equipment, valued at approximately $1,000.
Sortor stated that the suspects fled the scene in a vehicle, driving onto an icy sidewalk, during which his hand became caught in the door handle, causing him to be dragged and placed in serious danger.
Sortor further reported that bystanders did not intervene and that, following the incident, individuals allegedly followed his vehicle for approximately 30 minutes, repeatedly honking and making statements indicating that he did not belong in Minnesota.
A woman allegedly involved in the incident has been identified by Sortor as Subeyda Mohamed, who he claims owns a children’s autism services business in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota.
Sortor stated that the vehicle and license plate observed during the incident matched records associated with Mohamed.
Law enforcement has not publicly confirmed this identification.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is now involved in the investigation, according to Sortor.
Authorities have not yet announced arrests or formally identified suspects, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Police have urged anyone with additional information or video evidence related to the incident to contact law enforcement as the case continues.
A man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a woman in the Avondale neighborhood of Cincinnati, according to the Cincinnati Police Department.
Authorities identified the suspect as Jesse Wilson, 65, who has been charged with aggravated murder in the death of 36-year-old Jessica Hardy. Wilson was taken into custody and is currently being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
Police said officers were dispatched at approximately 6:35 a.m. on March 6 to the 700 block of Ridgeway Avenue after receiving reports of a shooting.
When officers arrived at the Avondale apartment building, they discovered Hardy suffering from a gunshot wound.
Emergency crews attempted lifesaving measures, but Hardy was pronounced dead at the scene, according to investigators.
The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office later confirmed her death and ruled the case an apparent homicide.
Detectives with the homicide unit launched an investigation shortly after the shooting, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses as they worked to determine the circumstances leading up to the deadly incident.
Wilson was subsequently identified as a suspect and arrested.
Authorities have not yet released additional details about what may have led to the shooting.
The investigation remains ongoing, and police have asked anyone with information related to the case to contact the homicide unit.
