The illegal migrant charged with shooting a Jewish man in a targeted attack in Chicago killed himself while in custody, according to police.
Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, a 22-year-old from Mauritania, was found unresponsive in Cermak Health Services on Saturday afternoon in “an apparent suicide attempt by hanging,” according to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.
Abdallahi, who was not considered at risk for suicide, was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
No foul play is suspected, police said.
The Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force is investigating the death, according to the sheriff’s office.
Abdallahi had opened fire on a 39-year-old Jewish man walking to synagogue in October in the city’s West Ridge neighborhood, leading to a shootout with police.
