Said was shot and killed in the line of duty over the weekend in Melvindale. The suspect was arrested after a multi-day manhunt.

"He was a damn good officer," Melvindale Police Lt. Matthew Furman said.

His partner, Officer Mohamed Hacham, remembers Said, or Mo as his friends called him, as the man who would do anything to keep his community safe.

Mohamed's younger brother, Ahmed, contacted 7 News Detroit reporter Faraz Javed to share more about Mohamed's legacy.

"It's killing me. I ask him for everything. I take his permission before I take my parents' permission. He was everything to us," said Ahmed.

On Sunday morning, Officer Said approached a suspicious person with the intention to help. The police say a scuffle broke out, and the suspect shot Officer Said. At 11:42 a.m., officer down was called in.

"I'm smelling Mo," said Ahmed at his car. "He always talked to me, keep the car clean, make sure it smells good every time."

Ahmed called his brother 'Mo.' His parents and two siblings moved from Yemen 10 years ago.

In addition to his parents, Mo leaves behind two brothers: 22-year-old Ahmed and 7-year-old Yousef, who asks Ahmed every day when Mo will be back.
