Ali’s charges are in connection to a shooting on Nov. 25, 2021, at a home in the 100 block of Furby Street.
According to police, two men were found at the home with life-threatening gunshots. Both victims were taken to the hospital in critical condition, but have since been discharged after recovering from their injuries. The suspect fled from the scene.

Ali is described as six-foot-three in height, and weighs about 235 lbs with a medium build.
According to police, he is gang-affiliated and involved in the drug subculture.
Ali is considered armed and dangerous. He should not be approached.
Anyone with information about his location is asked to call police at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
