The investigation into a deadly convenience store robbery ended early Saturday with a police shootout in City Heights that left the suspect wounded, San Diego police said.
Ahmed Hassan Mumin, 30, of San Diego was taken to a hospital and is expected to be booked into jail on charges of murder, armed robbery and attempted murder of two police officers, police officials said.
Officers were investigating the Thursday robbery of a Clairemont Arco station that left a customer dead when they encountered the suspect early Saturday.
Investigators had identified a potential suspect on Friday and believed he was in the area of Winona Avenue near Wightman Street. A surveillance operation was underway when police received a 911 call about 12:50 a.m. that an armed prowler was trying to break into several apartments nearby, said police homicide Lt. Paul Rorrison.
Several officers began a search of the Bandar Salaam apartment complex, and at 2:50 a.m. two officers prepared to search a community room there. As the detectives approached the door, the suspect began shooting through the door, narrowly missing both officers, Rorrison said.
The detectives both returned fire, and at least one round struck Mumin in the torso, police said.
He surrendered and was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest. He is expected to survive, police said.
Speaking in Somali through a friend, 83-year-old resident Ugaso Elmi said she heard the shots and knew immediately they were gunfire, but decided not to poke her head out to find out what was going on.
“I stayed in my bed because it was frightening,” Elmi said.
Nearby, 8-year-old Bahja Sadiya said she was up and headed to the bathroom when she heard the shots.
“They sounded like ‘boom, boom, boom,’” Bahja said.
