Mohammed Mohamed tried to hire an assassin to murder a Houston police officer.

Press conference Chief Artacevedo and Houston police department investigators brief media on arrest of a suspect who tried to pay to have a Houston police officer murdered here.

Acevedo said HPD staged a scene to make it appear the officer was dead by using photos from the staging to help convince the suspect that the murder had been carried out.

During a news briefing on Wednesday at 1200 Travis, police said Mohammed Mohamed, 47, initially wanted someone to throw acid in the officer’s face and maim him. The suspect changed his mind and decided he wanted the officer dead, HPD Chief Art Acevedo said.

Police have arrested a man wanted for allegedly trying to hire someone as a hitman to kill a police officer, the Houston Police Department said.

Mohamed, Who Owns a Shipping Business, Wanted the Murder to Happen After Ramadan, Authorities Allege

Mohamed also didn’t want to be extorted by the hitman, so once an undercover officer was involved, he “would always cover his face with bandannas and baseball caps” with the undercover officer who eventually met him and made a deal, the police chief said.

He “wanted our officer dead. He was adamant that he would not meet the hit man until the end of Ramadan,” Acevedo alleged, saying that Mohamed allegedly hired a hitman “because he got tickets.” Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is observed by Muslims throughout the world as a month involving fasts.

Eventually, Mohamed agreed to meet the undercover officer in a park, again hiding his identity, alleged the police chief. “The suspect agreed to pay $2,000 in cash and that night when he made the deal, he paid $500 in cash with an agreement that the $1,500 balance would be paid upon the execution of the heat,” the chief said.

He said the suspect owns a shipping business. He did not have a criminal history.

3. Authorities Staged the Murder of the Police Officer & Allege That Mohamed Seemed Happy When He Saw Photos

The Houston police staged the murder of the officer to make sure they had enough evidence against Mohammed Mohamed in the plot, according to the police chief.

“They made it look like they actually murdered the officer and took pictures of what appeared to be the dead officer to show the suspect,” said the chief. “They then made arrangements to stage it to make it look like it was a robbery that was botched or went sideways.”

The undercover officer told the suspect to return to the park with the rest of the money owed to him, said the chief, who called Mohamed’s alleged actions “wanton disregard for the life of a police officer.”

Acevedo said Mohamed is allegedly “an individual who has absolutely no heart and no care about the safety of others.”

The SWAT team took the suspect down when he showed up at the park “again covered with a bandanna and a hat, and he had the $1,500 on his person. He was then booked,” said Acevedo.

The chief noted that authorities are hoping for no bail in the case because Mohammed Mohamed “has ties back home in Egypt” making him a potential flight risk. “We’re hopeful that no bail is given to this individual,” the chief said adding that the officer “was targeted for doing his sworn duty.”

He added “We just want the magistrates to know and the district judges who appoint these magistrates that we will be watching closely.”

5. The Police Chief Called Mohamed a ‘Dangerous Individual’

Egyptian Murder-For-Hire Suspect Arrested After Targeting Texas Police Officer Because Of Too Many Traffic Tickets Washington Standard, June 26, 2018:

Acevedo said the suspect’s plan allegedly morphed from a plot to disable the officer with acid to having him killed.

What would make the man want to kill the officer? Was it that the officer was harassing him? Did the officer threaten him or his family in some way?

Nope, the man was angry because he got a lot of traffic tickets.

HPD Chief Art Acevedo said in a press conference that the department was made aware of the man’s plans via a witness of his plans.

Interestingly enough, this Egyptian wanted the attack on the officer to include acid, a common item used by Muslims against their enemies, and we all know the Houston area is a hotbed of Muslim activity.

The suspect’s name is Mohammed Mohamed, 47. Yep, sounds Muslim to me, but the media is not even bringing that into the conversation. That’s why you have me.

Here’s a man who is more than likely Muslim and remember, it was in Texas that Herman Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth Council on American-Islamic Relations branch, once said, “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land.” Thus, given such indoctrination, why should we be surprised that this man was not only angry about traffic tickets, but also wanted to murder a police officer because of them? After all, he probably thought he was above the law, right?

After meeting the undercover officer in a local park, the man paid him $500 to kill the officer.

The police department then staged the officer’s death and photos were shown to the man, who believed they were real and agreed to pay the remaining $1,500.

He was then arrested and $1,500 was in his possession.

He was then charged with Solicitation for Capital Murder.

Chief Acevedo praised and thanked the officers and investigators in his department for their diligence and hard work, which led to the arrest of Mohamed and ultimately, the saving of the life of a Houston police officer.
