Foos Abdi Hashi




A 70-year-old Milpitas, California woman was arrested on suspicion of murder in the death of her 3-year-old grandson. Foos Abdi Hashi, the child’s maternal grandmother, was arrested in San Jose in mid April 2019.

Officials with the coroner’s office identified the boy as Ayub Hassan of Milpitas. Police would not say how he died. Police received a 911 call about an unresponsive child at a home on the 700 block of Luz Del Sol Loop in Milpitas. Officers and firefighters attempted life-saving efforts at the scene, before paramedics transported the child to a hospital, where Ayub was pronounced dead.

Hashi was booked into the Santa Clara County jail. The district attorney charged her with murder and two counts of child abuse. Ayub’s legal guardian was his aunt, and Hashi lived at the home with them and had been taking care of the at the time of his death.
