His older brother, Abdi Ibrahim, said police confirmed to the family that the toddler had been killed in the attack. Mucaad was at the Al Noor mosque with Abdi and their father on Friday when a gunman stormed in and began shooting people. (Abdi Ibrahim via AP) (Associated Press)CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — He spent just three years on this earth, but in some ways, a friend said, he seemed like an old soul.

On Sunday, his brother Abdi Ibrahim said that police had confirmed the worst: their beloved little boy was dead.
