The Burlington Police Department announced a second arrest in connection with the July shooting death of Hussein Mubarak in Burlington’s Old North End.
Deon Mitchell, 19, of Winooski, was arrested Monday and charged with accessory after the fact for first-degree murder, police said in a Monday press release. Mitchell’s residence in Winooski is alleged to have been the “starting and ending point” for Abdiaziz Abdhikadir, who was charged last month with first-degree murder in the killing.
In court documents, police allege that Abdhikadir left Winooski and entered Burlington’s Old North End via train tracks. Police allege he then shot Mubarak on Luck Street before returning to Winooski.
Police on Monday said evidence related to the homicide was found at Mitchell’s residence. He was released on court conditions after an arraignment Monday.
