CINCINNATI â A bill that will change Ohio s parole options, signed by Governor Mike DeWine on Saturday, was advocated for by a local mother whose son was murdered in South Cumminsville in 2015.
Suliman Abdul-Mutakallim was walking home with food for his family in June, 2015, when he was shot dead and robbed. When three assailants walked up behind him and shot him in the back of the head, they didn t even say stick em up. They just shot him, said Rukiye Abdul-Mutakallim, Suliman s mother.
