Somali leaders cite American upbringing, gun violence and overworked parents amid gang shootings "This is not a Somali community [issue] … This is a gun violence issue," one speaker said. Another speaker, Asad Aliweyd, said: “This is not simply a Somali problem. It’s a youth violence and gun violence problem and we must address it together." Aliweyd is the executive director of a nonprofit that was ordered to pay back $1.1 million to the state for “fraudulent claims,” according to reports. He has not been charged with any crime.
