Warrants were issued this morning for the arrest of two Rochester men now facing murder charges in the shooting death of Ryan Nissalke on Monday.
Charged are Abdulkadir Ali Mohamud, 24, and Muhidin Omar Abukar, 20.
Police Capt. Brian Winters said the warrants were filed at 9 a.m. today, and the complaints are sealed to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation, which could lead to additional arrests.
Witness information led to identifying Mohamud and Abukar as those who fled the crime scene in a vehicle, which was later found and impounded by police, Winters said.
Mohamud goes by the street names of "D-Dog" and "Slim" while Abukar is known as "K.O.," Winters said.
He said both suspects have lived in Rochester for several years and have families that live in the city. He said investigators have been in contact with the families, and the whereabouts of the two suspects is unknown; it's possible they left Rochester.
Anyone with information about their whereabouts should call police at 328-6888. Winters said both men have histories of assaultive behavior and know police are trying to arrest them; he urged people to not confront the men
Other suspects may have been involved in Nissalke's death and could be charged, Winters said.
Robbery is believed to be a motive, but with the criminal complaints sealed, no more information is available about that or the suspects' relationship to Nissalke.
Police were called to Nissalke's residence at 4417 14th Ave. N.W. at 12:11 p.m. Monday. They found Nissalke bleeding from gunshot wounds. He later died at Saint Marys Hospital.
On Wednesday, Winters said multiple gunshots were fired inside the residence and Nissalke suffered wounds to his upper torso.
Several witnesses told police they saw a vehicle flee the scene. On Monday, police seized an SUV now identified as the one seen leaving the Nissalke apartment area.
Two occupants of that vehicle were seen running into a nearby apartment complex. Police learned that the two occupants were given a ride to a residence off Second Street Southwest. Police searched that residence but didn't find the suspects or any evidence.

Abukar -- fight extradition all you want. Squirm. Writhe. Try to hide. Draw out what is inevitable. Do anything but man up to what you did and who you are. You're done, "K.O.," and your friend isn't far behind.
