Abdallahi was arrested at 10 a.m. Saturday in the 6800 block of North Washtenaw Avenue, police said.

He was identified as the suspect less than 30 minutes earlier shot a 39-year-old Jewish man in the 2600 block of West Farwell Avenue in West Rogers Park, police said.

Police previously said the man was walking in the area, and Abdallahi approached from behind before shooting him in the shoulder without saying a word.

The victim fell to the ground.

And then the perpetrator wanted to shoot him on the ground, but his gun jammed. And a neighbor of ours who happened to be there had screamed and he started running towards my neighbor, and my neighbor ended up bringing him into the house,” said neighbor Eli Lawrence.

The man was treated and released.

Abdallahi then ran away. He later emerged from an alley and shot at police, police said.

Abdallahi shot multiple times from different locations at responding officers and paramedics for approximately two minutes, according to CPD.

Doorbell camera video captured part of the shooting, which spanned blocks.

An apparent dog walker is seen hiding from gunfire before a concerned homeowner comes out.

The two were unaware a gunman was just feet away until he emerged from a gangway and fired shots at first responders.

Police shot Abdallahi several times. He was seriously injured and remains in a local hospital on Monday.

No first responders were injured.

According to police, a weapon was found at the scene.

Ward 50 Councilor Debra L. Silverstein said in a letter to residents that the man shot is Jewish and had walked to the synagogue on Shabbat.

“Remarkably, and despite evidence suggesting an anti-Semitic motive for the shooting, authorities did not file hate crime charges,” Silverstein said. “I am deeply disappointed by this turn of events and strongly encourage the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office to prosecute the perpetrator to the full extent of the law.”

She said CPD is taking the incident seriously.

There was a meeting Sunday between Jewish rabbinic and community leaders, Chief Larry Snelling and his police leadership team to discuss the shooting.

“Police share our horror that a Jewish man has been the victim of violence during the Jewish holidays,” Silverstein said. “They are committed to deploying the resources necessary to keep our community safe and are asking for the public’s assistance in providing any information or footage that could assist the investigation. The safety of our community is my utmost priority. As always, I will continue to work closely with Superintendent Snelling and local enforcement to ensure all residents of the 50th Ward are safe and protected.”

Snelling, Silverstein and other police leaders announced the charges during a news conference Monday afternoon.

“While this perpetrator has been charged in connection with this shooting, we continue to investigate the motive. At this time, detectives have not been able to question the perpetrator due to his injuries,” Snelling said. “Until we have those facts, we will not announce charges. It’s about what we can prove based on the facts.”

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is investigating the police shooting and the officers involved have been placed on routine administrative duties.

CPD initially said Abdallahi was 23.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

The CPD said there is no threat to the Jewish community.

The FBI said in a statement: “The Chicago Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is aware of the referenced event and continues to work diligently with local, state and federal partners to provide critical resources and assistance as we continue to respond to find out. Illinois residents deserve to feel safe as we walk the streets of our neighborhood, and we are committed to bringing a sense of calm back to the community. Should members of the public wish to provide information regarding this incident, we encourage them to contact our office at (312) 421-6700 or at tips.fbi.gov to submit a tip (even anonymously) .”
