Man Sought In Islamic Center Killing Shot By Deputies
A man suspected of killing a maintenance worker at the Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, Florida on Thursday is in the hospital, after being shot several times by deputies.
Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma initially said the suspect, 38-year-old Ahmed Raslan, and the victim, an unnamed 59-year-old man, were coworkers at the center.
Investigators later determined the two were strangers.
Authorities believe Raslan broke into the center Thursday morning, found and confronted the worker, then beat him to death.
The victim’s body was found on the mosque’s porch with most of his clothes removed and strewn about the area, Lemma said.
