Yussuf Muya said Ramadhan Mohamed’s passion was teaching the youth in his Somali community of Northview Heights.
“He came to Pittsburgh for one purpose: to educate our community kids,” Mohamed’s nephew Yussuf Muya said. “He was just positive. He was never a negative person. He did the right thing, always there for community when they needed him.”
But, the 31-year-old had to make a living while he was trying to find a job as a medical assistant. He was supporting a pregnant wife and two-year-old son, so he got a job as a cab driver with zTrip and was only there for two weeks.
That was all taken from him early Tuesday morning.
Police say Mohamed was called to the 400 block of Climax Street in Beltzhoover where he was brutally beaten by four men. Police say King Edwards, Daniel Russell, Hosea Moore and Christen Glenn devised a plan to rob a zTrip taxi cab. Mohamed was found in a yard then taken to UPMC Presbyterian where he died Friday.
