Jaylani Hussein is the Executive Director of CAIR-Minnesota. He says it's been nearly two-months since the incident and information remains limited.

At this point we don't know what the motives or reasons behind this crime were. That is why we are coming to the public asking for your help. If you've seen anything or know anything this is the time to share that information with the Waite Park police department.

Waite Park Police say just before 1:00 a.m. Monday, May 30th, authorities were dispatched to a car fire in the 1500 block of County Road 6 in Waite Park. They found the vehicle fully engulfed in flames. Once the fire was out, they found a body inside the car.
