Ali Mohamed Mohamudl, left, has been charged with killing his stepson, Abdifatah Mohamud.

‘I don’t want to go back with him’

Ten-year-old Abdifatah Mohamud was running for his life down Sycamore Street at about 5 p.m. Tuesday when a concerned neighbor stopped to try to help.
Seeing the boy’s stepfather chasing after him, the neighbor helped the man, Ali Mohamed Mohamud, catch up with the child.
The boy didn’t want to go home with Mohamud.
“I told the boy, ‘Daddy promises nothing is going to happen,’” the neighbor later told The Buffalo News.
“The boy said to me: ‘No, he always says that.’”
Less than six hours later, Abdifatah was dead, brutally beaten, and his stepfather, Ali Mohamed Mohamud, was under arrest.
