Authorities have identified Amin Abdullah, a security guard at the Islamic Center of San Diego, as one of the victims killed during Monday’s deadly shooting in San Diego. Investigators say the attack is being examined as a possible hate crime.

According to the San Diego Police Department, the shooting occurred around noon on May 18 at the mosque located on Eckstrom Avenue near Balboa Avenue and Interstate 805.

Police said two armed suspects opened fire at the Islamic center, killing three adult male victims before later dying from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds several blocks away.

San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl stated during a press conference that officers received reports of an active shooter at approximately 11:45 a.m. Authorities said officers arrived within minutes as emergency responders from across the county rushed to the scene.

Investigators reported that the suspects also fired shots in a nearby neighborhood on Salerno Street while fleeing. A landscaper was reportedly targeted during the incident but was not struck by gunfire.

Authorities later located both suspects deceased near Hatton Street. Police believe the suspects were ages 17 and 19.

Officials confirmed that the shooting is being investigated as a hate crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined the investigation alongside local authorities.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Mark Remily said investigators are “meticulously assessing the situation” and vowed that authorities would continue working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the attack.

Police also confirmed that no children were physically harmed during the shooting. The Islamic Center of San Diego stated that all students and teachers on campus were safely evacuated.

“This is every community’s worst nightmare,” Chief Wahl said during the briefing. “There is no further threat. Both suspects in this case are deceased. All of the kids are safe.”

Todd Gloria also addressed the tragedy, expressing support for the city’s Muslim community and pledging resources to help protect places of worship throughout the area.

Authorities established a reunification center for families as parents gathered to reconnect with children evacuated from the campus. Multiple roads surrounding the mosque remained closed for several hours while investigators processed the extensive crime scene.

The identities of the other victims have not yet been publicly released as authorities continue notifying family members. The investigation into the deadly shooting remains ongoing.
