| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] An terrorist who allegedly shot a Jewish man walking to a synagogue in Chicago has been found dead in his jail cell. Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, 22,
Cook County Sheriff's officials said jail staff were conducting a routine security check at around 3.30pm in the medical facility of the jail - where Abdallahi has been held since he was critically injured in a shootout with police - when they saw him in the cell. Staffers initiated life saving measures and first responders transported Abdallahi to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Chicago Tribune. Authorities say there is no evidence of foul play, but the cause and manner of his death will be determined by an autopsy conducted by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. The Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force will also be conducting an independent investigation under protocol. Abdallahi was arrested on October 26 after he allegedly shot a 39-year-old Orthodox Jewish man wearing traditional attire. The victim was walking to a local synagogue, and police say Abdallahi approached him from behind. Neighbors then rushed to help the injured man as police and paramedics raced to the scene. As officers then searched for the gunman, they said, Abdallahi emerged from an alley and started firing on the cops - hitting a Chicago Fire Department ambulance. He reportedly screamed 'Allahu Akbar' as he fired at the officers, who then fired back and shot the suspect multiple times. No officers were injured in the exchange. Footage later showed the 22-year-old being wheeled away from the scene in a stretcher after being shot multiple times. He was hospitalized in the aftermath, and was transferred to the jail's medical facility on November 15. The victim, meanwhile, was hospitalized, but was later released. An ensuing investigation found that Abdallahi's phone contained evidence that 'indicated he planned the shooting and specifically targeted people of Jewish faith, Chicago police Superintendent Larry Snelling said. Prosecutors also alleged that Abdallahi mapped the locations of several Chicago synagogues and Jewish day schools in the days leading up to the attack. The attack then occurred in the West Rogers Park neighborhood, the home to the highest concentration of Jewish citizens in the city. 'This was not anything but a planned attack... an attempted assassination of these people,' Assistant State's Attorney Anne McCord Rodgers said at a hearing on November 22, the Sun-Times reports. 'This was a calculated plan on a public street, and an attempted slaughter of that person and law enforcement officers. She added that his phone also contained more than 100 'antisemitic and pro-Hamas' photos and videos. It was also determined that Abdallahi was an illegal immigrant who came from West Africa in March 2023. He crossed southern border illegally last year, but authorities did not find any criminal or terrorist ties at the time, sources told the New York Post. Abdallahi told agents he was going to live with a friend in Indiana, and although he initially said he didn't fear being returned to Mauritania, he later filed for asylum, the outlet said. At the hearing on November 22, Assistant Public Defender Josh Thigpen noted that Abdallahi had lived in the US for 'at least two years' and worked at an Amazon warehouse. Still, Judge Susana Ortiz ordered him detained.
