Abdisamad "Adam" Sheikh-Hussein was a 15-year-old boy who was killed on December 4, 2014 in Kansas City, Missouri. He was a student at Staley High School. He was a Muslim and had immigrated to the United States from Somalia with his family. As he walked near the Kansas City Somali Center, a man intentionally rammed his car into him, knocking him into the air, and then ran over him, nearly severing his legs. He died in hospital. The FBI investigated the incident as an anti-Muslim hate crime.
Ahmed H. Aden, a 34-year-old Somali Christian truck driver told police he ran over the boy. Aden's family described him as a schizophrenic, and he was committed to a mental institution for two years after threatening to burn down a social security office in Minneapolis. He had described himself as a prophet, and made rants against Islam and threats against Muslim worshippers outside a mosque. The SUV used in the attack had an anti-Muslim bumper sticker which compared the Quran with Ebola, while another stated that "Islam is worse than Ebola". Charges of "first-degree murder, armed criminal action, leaving the scene of an accident and unlawful use of a weapon" have been filed by the Jackson County prosecutor, and a grand jury is hearing evidence to decide if he should go to trial.
