Patrol officers found the victim with critical injuries as they responded to 911 calls reporting gunfire in the area of 1485 Heatherington Rd. at 10:40 p.m. Monday.

A neighbour looked outside her front door to see him unconscious on the pavement and covered in blood.

“He was just lying there, fighting for his life,” said the woman, who asked not to be named because she fears retaliation.

Police believe Mouhamed was outside of the housing complex when an argument broke out. Neighbours said they heard two gun shots before his assailant fled the area.

Mouhamed is the second son in his family lost to gunfire.

His brother Hamzeh Serhan was also fatally shot outside of a housing complex – on Caldwell Avenue – in September 2017 in what police believe was a drug-related killing.
