A Minnesota man, Sincir Malik Porter, 21, has been arrested and charged with the murder of his 25-year-old roommate, Abdirahman Adan Abdirahman, following a violent argument over $15.
Porter is currently being held at Hennepin County Jail on a $1 million bond after allegedly stabbing his roommate in the neck, resulting in Abdirahman’s death.
The Fatal Argument
The tragic incident occurred on Sunday at a Minneapolis residence, where police were called to the scene after a report of a stabbing. Upon arriving, officers found a large amount of blood on the floor and walls in the living room, and Abdirahman was discovered lying on the floor with a fatal stab wound to his neck. He was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
According to witnesses, the argument between Porter and Abdirahman centered around the small sum of $15. Witnesses reported that Porter and Abdirahman were seen arguing, and shortly after, Porter allegedly stabbed Abdirahman in the neck before fleeing the scene. One witness initially thought the altercation was just a punch until they saw the blood.
Surveillance Footage Captures the Altercation
The house was equipped with surveillance cameras, and police obtained footage showing the argument and the stabbing.
The video revealed Porter holding a knife during the argument, which escalated quickly. Porter was seen switching hands before allegedly stabbing Abdirahman in the neck. Abdirahman attempted to fight back, but appeared unaware of the severe injury until he collapsed.
Porter’s Admission and Threats
After the stabbing, Porter fled the scene, but police later located him in another part of the neighborhood. Upon encountering the officers, Porter reportedly said, “Yeah, you got me.” After being read his rights, Porter allegedly admitted to the stabbing, explaining that he had been angry and “flashed out” in the heat of the moment.
Porter also revealed to police that he had previously thought about killing not only Abdirahman but also his other roommates. He stated that the other roommates “were lucky they didn’t get in his way.”
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Porter has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the killing. His bond has been set at $1 million, and he is currently awaiting his court appearance.
The case has shocked the local community, raising questions about how a minor dispute could escalate to such a deadly confrontation.
The stabbing death of Abdirahman Adan Abdirahman has left the community in disbelief, with a senseless argument over a small amount of money resulting in tragedy.
Sincir Malik Porter’s violent actions and chilling admission of premeditated thoughts have further compounded the shock, and the legal process will now determine the consequences for his actions. As the case progresses, it serves as a stark reminder of how quickly conflicts can turn deadly.
