Police responded to a report of a shooting at a State Street apartment in Biddeford at 2:10 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 24. Biddeford police entered the apartment to find Ahmed Sharif, 27, of Lewiston, dead. The Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit South was called to the scene, and Sharif’s body was transported the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta, and an autopsy later ruled his death a homicide, said Shannon Moss, public safety officer for the Maine Department of Public Safety in a press release.
