The Ottawa Police Service is renewing its call for information into a deadly shooting at a local convention centre three years ago. Two men were killed and six other people were injured when approximately 50 shots were fired into a crowd at a wedding reception at the Infinity Convention Centre on Sept. 2, 2023. Said Mohamed Ali, 26, and Abdishakur Abdi-Dahir, 29, both of Toronto, were killed. Investigators believe they were not the intended targets of the shooting. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident. Police said on Thursday that the investigation remains open and active. “Investigators believe there are people who attended the wedding, or who have knowledge of what happened that night, who have not yet shared everything they know with police,” a news release said. “Three years have passed, but information that may have seemed insignificant at the time could still help investigators move this case forward.” Anyone who witnessed the shooting, has information about the circumstances surrounding it, or has information about those responsible is urged to the Ottawa Police Service Homicide Unit at 613-236-1222, extension 5493. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 or online at crimestoppers.ca.
