BREAKING: Mosque Security Guard Identified After Deadly San Diego Shooting

One of the victims killed in Monday’s deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego has been identified as Amin Abdullah, who served as a security guard at the mosque.

Authorities say five people lost their lives in the incident, which investigators are treating as a possible hate-related attack. Police confirmed that three victims were found outside the Islamic Center, while two individuals believed to be connected to the shooting were later discovered deceased inside a nearby vehicle.

Law enforcement says at least one of the suspected individuals died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound before officers secured the scene.

The incident led to a major emergency response across the area, including school lockdowns and evacuations while authorities worked to ensure the community’s safety.

Investigators continue gathering evidence as they work to determine exactly what led to the tragedy.

Keeping Amin Abdullah, the victims, their families, and the San Diego Islamic community in thoughts and prayers during this painful time. 🕊️
