46-year-old Mohamed Ibrahim was charged with aggravated assault after he admitted to pointing a handgun at the owner of North Memphis Market and firing it in the air.
On November 27th, Memphis Police officers responded to an assault call at the North Memphis Market, located at 1590 Vollintine Avenue. Upon arrival, the owner, Akeila Alasabi, stated she got into an argument with Mohamed Ibrahim about the scheduling. She reported Mohamed pointed a handgun at her, making her fear for her life, and then fired one shot in the air.

Mohamed Ibrahim was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. He is currently jailed in lieu of a $2,500 bond.
