Ali was born in Somalia but moved to Sheffield as a child and spent most of his life there until he moved to the east coast last summer.
He has links to the Shirecliffe and Pitsmoor areas of Sheffield.
In 2015, the names and photographs of four men believed to hold vital information about a fatal shooting in Sheffield were released by South Yorkshire Police.

Detectives do not believe Ahmed acted alone and believe that four men – Mohammed Ali, Jamal Ali, Saeed Hussein and Ahmed Warsame – could hold vital information about the case.
It is believed that they may now be in Somalia.
Jordan was shot dead on Derek Dooley Way when the Ford Mondeo when a car pulled up behind the car he was travelling in and a gunman jumped out and opened fire.
Jordan is thought to have been killed in revenge for the death of 23-year-old Mubarak Ali in 2011.

Hide AdJordan's cousin, James Knowles, formerly of Deer Park Road, Stannington, was jailed for 10 years for the manslaughter of Mubarak, who was stabbed to death on Mount Pleasant Road, Highfield, as part of a gang war.
Mubarak, from Headford Grove, Broomhall, had organised an ambush of Knowles in a barber's on Abbeydale Road, during which threats were made to kill and shoot him.
But Knowles ended up stabbing Mubarak to death instead after they left the shop.
Jailing Knowles in 2012, Mr Justice Openshaw warned that the murder could 'further stoke feuding and rivalry' between gangs in the city - and three years later Jordan was killed.
