The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has increased its reward for information leading to the arrest of a man accused of murdering a man and seriously hurting a woman in Washington over 20 years ago. Investigators say Liban Abdulkadir Sheikh was spotted in Minneapolis after allegedly forcing his way into a Lakewood, Wash., apartment on Nov. 27, 2002, and shooting a man in the back six times, killing him.
