Update on the Mall of America Attack

We have reported on the recent attack at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, where Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda is accused of throwing a 5-year-old boy off the third floor. Various sites have reported that Aranda was actually born as Abdisaid Mohamed and is of Somali origin. This remains unclear.

The reports seem to have as their original source a Twitter feed from someone identified as Angela Clarice@AngelaClar1.

I note in the thread that several readers have asked Angela to provide the documentaion for her claim, but none is provided. My own efforts to confirm that Aranda and Mohamed are one and the same have, thus far, failed to produce results. Aranda's DOB is 8-23-94, and he is supposedly from Chicago originally. He currently resides in Minneapolis.

I will keep checking, but I felt it was imporant to note that up to now, I have been unable to confirm the assertion that Aranda was born as Abdisaid Mohammed.
