Do you think the national media will obsess on this vicious crime ala
the Trayvon Martin incident? Gotta love that the savage had already
stabbed a person 3 times in the back and was not only out of prison
but still in the country.

"A Somali man charged in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old woman in
northwest North Dakota is now accused of killing her mother, brother
and the mother's boyfriend, who were found dead the same day in mobile
home across town.

Omar Mohamed Kalmio, 27, who has a history of violent crime, was
charged with murder several months after his infant daughter's mother,
Sabrina Zephier, was found dead at her home in Minot in January 2011.
The baby was found in the home unharmed.

Court documents show prosecutors filed additional murder charges
Friday, alleging Kalmio also was the gunman who killed 13-year-old
Dylan Zephier, 38-year-old Jolene Zephier, and Jolene's 22-year-old
boyfriend, Jeremy Longie.

Multiple slayings are virtually unheard of in North Dakota, which had
10 murders and non-negligent homicides in all of 2010, according to
data compiled by the FBI.

Ward County State's Attorney Roza Larson declined to comment on
specifics of the case Wednesday, but she cited the ongoing work by
Minot police and the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Police
also declined comment.

"They have been working this case since the murders occurred and they
have been putting in a lot of tireless hours," she said. "A lot of
times when things take a while, people have the perception that
investigators aren't doing anything. They truly have been doing a
lot."

Kalmio, who has pleaded not guilty in Sabrina Zephier's death, is
being held without bond. His trial was scheduled to begin June 4, but
was cancelled when the new charges were filed. His court-appointed
attorney couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday; a recorded phone
message said his mailbox was full.

Kalmio was arrested last August at the Grand Forks County jail, where
he had been held since February 2011 on an unrelated charge. Police
have said that last summer's devastating flooding in Minot may have
delayed his arrest, because police had to divert their efforts
elsewhere.

The Somali national has said he was in the U.S. under political
asylum. He's scheduled for a preliminary hearing June 19, and Larson
said she expects the case to go to trial.

Sabrina Zephier's body was found in an apartment on Jan. 28, 2011, the
same day the bodies of the other three were found in a nearby mobile
home. They all had been shot.

The Zephiers were members of South Dakota's Yankton Sioux Tribe.

Police contend in court documents that a witness claimed Kalmio and
Zephier argued days before she was found dead, and Kalmio's co-workers
at an oil rig site near Williston claimed Kalmio had made statements
about Zephier purposely getting pregnant and ruining his life. Kalmio
also allegedly described injuries to Zephier that had not been
publicly disclosed, authorities said.

Kalmio was convicted in 2006 of second-degree assault with a dangerous
weapon and sentenced to about a year in prison. He and a group of
other Somali men were accused of attacking a man in Minneapolis in
January 2006, and Kalmio stabbed him three times in the back with a
knife. Kalmio also was convicted of theft in 2006, and ordered to pay
a fine."

There are voices in the street,
And the sound of running feet,
And they whisper the word - "Revolution!"
