ROCHESTER, Minn. – A trial date has been set for a fatal summer shooting at the Villages at Essex Park apartment complex.

Ibrahim Abukkar Abdi, 31 of Rochester, has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder, second degree assault with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm after being convicted of a crime of violence.

Abdi is accused of killing 35-year-old Sadik Yusuf. Investigators say there was an argument between Abdi and the victim involving money and personal issues that led up to the shooting.

Abdi’s trial is now scheduled for April 6 in Olmsted County District Court.
