Officer Mohamed Said was responding to a suspicious person report when he encountered the suspect. Said pursued the suspect on foot and tased him after a brief struggle. The suspect then allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Said, according to the report.

“During the investigation, troopers, detectives and members of the forensic laboratory learned of the boy that was now missing his bike,” MSP stated.

A collection was started to replace the bike and ensure all children in the family received new bicycles.

Funds left over from the donations were added to Said’s memorial fund, according to the report.

“We know he [Officer Said] was with us when those bikes were presented to the family because that’s what he would have done,” MSP Second District stated.

Following a massive manhunt, the suspect was arrested in southwest Detroit the next day, according to the report. He was arraigned on July 25 on 12 charges related to Said’s murder.
