Yahoo News reports:
Mohammed died from multiple gunshot wounds Thursday night outside an apartment complex on Blaisdell Avenue South.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has not identified Mohammed as the shooter.
But police previously said the suspect ambushed and killed Minneapolis police officer Jamal Mitchell on the street and died at the scene.

Mohammed was convicted of capital murder in 2008. Court records show he had a warrant out for his arrest.
Mohamed was convicted on a federal charge of felonious possession of ammunition in 2016, according to court records.
The shooting occurred in the 2200 block of Blaisdell Avenue South just after 5 Thursday night.
The shooting occurred at an apartment complex and left two additional people injured. Mitchell, 32, died after suffering multiple gunshot wounds.
One additional person was injured in a shooting outside an apartment complex.
While police were responding to the shooting, Mitchell was ambushed while trying to help a potential victim.
“What I can say is that Officer Mitchell was trying to help the person who shot him,” BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said during a news conference Thursday night.
A police officer and a firefighter were injured in the shooting. They have since been discharged from the hospital.
