Dalal Bayle Idd, 27, of Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, Minnesota, United States is one of the 11 children of Somali couple Bayle Adod Gelle, 62, and Nima F. Ade, 51. Before moving to the U.S., Gelle and Adi lived in Kebri Dehar, Somali Region, Ethiopia.
On April 27, 2015, Idd pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated robbery, first-degree assault, third-degree assault, fourth-degree assault and two counts of first-degree burglary. On June 15, 2015, he was sentenced in Hennepin County District Court to 160 months in the Minnesota Correctional Facility (MCF)-St. Cloud in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
On December 30, 2020, Idd’s younger brother Dolal Bayle Idd was fatally shot by Minneapolis Police Department officers in a traffic stop at the Holiday Gas station near East 36th Street and Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis, Hennepin County. Dolal, who was suspected of illegally selling firearms, was 23.
In November 2022, Dalal was released from prison. He was under the supervision of the Hennepin County Department of Community Corrections.
On the evening of September 12, 2023, Dalal was at home in Eden Prairie with three children including his brother Abdullahi Adod Gelle, 7. That night, Dalal allegedly fatally strangled Abdullahi inside their residence.
At around 10:10 p.m., Dalal called 911 and told the operator he was experiencing mental health issues. During the call, Dalal said he had harmed someone and he believed it was “for the greater good”.
“I don’t know what I just did,” Dalal said during the call. Minutes later, Eden Prairie Police Department officers responded to a welfare check at the residence in Eden Prairie.
The officers found Abdullahi unresponsive and without a pulse. The boy was taken to Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina, Hennepin County where he was later pronounced dead.
Dalal was taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. After the evaluation, he was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and booked into Hennepin County Jail in Minneapolis.
