Ibraham received a plea deal on lesser charges in his latest crimes, with mental health considered in sentencing.
Ibraham has a documented history of mental health issues, including schizophrenia, and has been evaluated as at elevated risk for reoffending.
In 2016, Ibraham was serving 10 years for robbery with a deadly weapon when authorities say he nearly beat a corrections officer to death.
After release in 2023, Ibraham was involved in a new carjacking incident where a man was pistol-whipped on video in Seattle.
Ibraham was evaluated at Western State Hospital after recent incidents and spent the last two years in jail.
A judge sentenced Ibraham to about eight years in prison, citing mental health history and sentencing guidelines.
The report raises concerns about whether lack of continued support and treatment contributed to Ibraham’s recidivism.
The 2016 case involved attempted murder charges that were dropped due to mental health issues.
Neighbors and officials are watching for justice and safety after multiple violent incidents linked to Ibraham.
Authorities say Ibraham displayed symptoms in King County jail after booking, influencing sentencing.
