The Somali refugee shot by Boise police at the end of June was charged with a litany of crimes on Wednesday.
Mohamud Hassan Mkoma, who was first identified by police on Wednesday more than two weeks after the June 27 shooting that left him hospitalized, was charged with felony counts of lewd conduct with a minor under 16, aggravated assault, aggravated assault on law enforcement personnel, and use of a firearm or deadly weapon during the commission of a crime.
According to a Boise police news release Mkoma also was charged with several misdemeanors, including unlawful entry, eluding a peace officer and violation of a protection order.
The Idaho Statesman reports a spokesperson for police, Haley Williams, declined to comment on Mkoma’s condition, but he is still hospitalized, according to police.
The shooting is under investigation by the Ada County Critical Incident Task Force, led by the Garden City Police Department.
