Abdisamad "Adam" Sheikh-Hussein was a 15-year-old boy who was killed on December 4, 2014 in Kansas City, Missouri. He was a student at Staley High School. He was a Muslim and had immigrated to the United States from Somalia with his family. As he walked near the Kansas City Somali Center, a man intentionally rammed his car into him, knocking him into the air, and then ran over him, nearly severing his legs.[1] He died in the hospital. The FBI investigated the incident as an anti-Muslim hate crime. Ahmed H. Aden, a 34-year-old Somali truck driver alleged to be christian told police he ran over the boy.[2][3]However Aden's mother Hawo Abdullahi said Aden was also a Muslim and Somali himself and he did not commit a hate crime.[4][5][6]Aden's family described him as a schizophrenic, and he was committed to a mental institution for two years after threatening to burn down a social security office in Minneapolis. He had described himself as a prophet, and made rants against Islam and threats against Muslim worshippers outside a mosque. The SUV used in the attack had an anti-Muslim bumper sticker which compared the Quran with the Ebola virus, while another stated that "Islam is worse than Ebola".[7][8] Charges of "first-degree murder, armed criminal action, leaving the scene of an accident and unlawful use of a weapon" have been filed by the Jackson County prosecutor, and a grand jury is hearing evidence to decide if he should go to trial.[9]
