MINNEAPOLIS — A New Brighton man was found guilty of murder Thursday in a 2023 fatal road rage shooting near downtown Minneapolis.
Dhaha Hassan, 25, was found guilty of second-degree murder without intent and having a gun with no serial number. He was acquitted of one count of second-degree murder with intent and one count of second-degree assault.
The fatal shooting happened in November at West River Parkway and Franklin Avenue. When they arrived, officers found 34-year-old Randy Burris suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The complaint said that when officers asked Burris who had shot him, he pointed to Hassan.
While arresting Hassan, police found a Polymer 80 handgun that did not have a serial number. Hassan then claimed self-defense before being taken into custody.
Authorities said at the time that Hassan was driving a vehicle the wrong way on the Franklin Avenue ramp, blocking traffic. Burris had gotten out of a vehicle to tell Hassan to reverse, but Hassan refused to do so and the two started to argue.
