Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed was legally barred from using guns. Yet he kept getting them, even doing time in federal prison for it. He was on the run for yet another gun charge when he fatally shot Jamal Mitchell.

Mitchell asked Mohamed if he needed help, and Mohamed allegedly started shooting, according to the bureau. | |
