The Federal Bureau of Investigation has increased the reward to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of Liban Abdulkadir Sheikh, a man accused of committing a brutal murder and assault in Washington state over two decades ago. Sheikh is currently at large and is considered armed and dangerous. He is wanted in connection with the November 27, 2002, incident in Lakewood, Washington, where investigators allege he forced his way into an apartment and shot a man in the back six times, resulting in the victim's death. Sheikh also allegedly shot the victim's girlfriend twice in the back and once in the leg, leaving her with serious injuries. The suspect faces charges including first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and first-degree burglary, as well as a federal charge for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution issued in December 2002. Sheikh is described as a 5-foot-11-inch male who may also be known by the aliases Nor Abdulkadir Sheikh, Nor Mohammed, “Blue,” or “Ali Jama.” While the crime occurred in Washington, recent intelligence suggests Sheikh was spotted in Minneapolis, Minnesota, though the exact date of that sighting remains unclear. The FBI has indicated that Sheikh may have ties to or have traveled to various locations, including Seattle, Columbus, Ohio, and several international destinations such as Vancouver, London, and Amsterdam. The public is urged to contact the FBI’s Toll-Free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or visit tips.fbi.gov if they have any information regarding the suspect's whereabouts. Local FBI offices and American Embassies or Consulates are also available to receive tips. This case remains active, and law enforcement continues to seek the public's assistance in locating and apprehending Sheikh.
