Abdullahi went missing on January 17th, 2020 after leaving target, which he worked. His body was found nearly 4 months later in a river 4 miles from the target on may 5th.

Detectives told Fadumo Ahmed, Sharif's mother, he took a DART bus on Local Route 16 near Merle Hay Mall and got off around Euclid Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, where he walked to the bridge along Euclid Avenue and jumped into the Des Moines River.

The last photo on his phone — taken the same minute cell towers recorded the final ping — was a picture of the bridge at 5:43 p.m., according to police. A minute later, police said he tried to upload the photo to Instagram. Then his phone stopped providing data.
