A Brooklyn Park man has been sentenced in a fatal shooting that left a 20-year-old Columbia Heights man dead in July in downtown Minneapolis.
Court records indicate Troy Lierre Fowler, 31, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison at the St. Cloud Correctional Facility for the shooting death of Mohamed Hussein Hassan.
According to the criminal complaint, on July 17, Minneapolis police responded to the area of a parking ramp east of Hennepin Avenue South in the 3300 block of Sixth Street South in downtown Minneapolis on a report of a gunshot fired.
A responding officer located a man who'd been shot in the back lying on the ground near the mouth of the parking ramp. The suspect, later identified as Fowler, ran from the scene after firing one gunshot. A nearby officer saw Fowler flee the area, and she pursued him. He was eventually caught near a pillar in a parking lot.
The victim, later identified as Hassan, was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and was shortly thereafter pronounced dead.
Surveillance video of the incident was captured and confirmed what happened. Fowler also admitted to shooting Hassan.
I’ll keep an eye out for him.

Good catch.
Count on modern “journalists” to leave out the important parts of the story.
Don’t quote me, but, I believe at the time of the crime, his eye didn’t look like that.
I believe it happened during his resisting arrest.
Aaaaaannnnd..... he will be out in 12.
Probably 5.
It’s also possible that he had a glass eye and they confiscated it from him when he was placed in custody. They’re not allowed to have anything which would hurt themselves or others, and some jails define it more strictly than others. In the prison where I worked certain prisoners who had prosthetic limbs were not allowed to have them because they had a history of using them for assaulting prisoners and staff.

Eye see.
At least he took care of 1 of the “Religion of Pieces”.
He’s definitely NOT Scandinavian! AMISH, perhaps.
