Melbourne man and former model Sharky Jama has been killed in Syria, reportedly shot after joining Islamic State militants last year.
Jama’s father Dada Jama confirmed his death to SBS Radio Somali broadcaster Ibrahim Mohamed, who spoke with the family on Wednesday.
Mr Mohamed said Dada Jama had received a phone call on Monday, saying that his son had been shot.
“He was told by his friends,” Mr Mohamed said.
“He got a text message and he received a phone call from Syria, someone has told him his son has passed away. Then he said ‘I tried his number’, because he has contact with his son. Automatically, it goes to voicemail, that’s what he said, and then he knew that his son is gone,” Mr Mohamed said.
Earlier reports cited social media posts stating that Sharky Jama was living in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, held by IS militants. He was reportedly shot in Syria.
Mr Mohamed said Dada Jama would be speaking to the Somali community in the wake of his son’s death, urging them to take care of their children and ensure they don’t fall prey to militants.
“His message is to the Somali community, to look after their kids,” Mr Mohamed said.
Condolences have been posted on Facebook, where Jama’s friends have been mourning his death.
A cousin, Habiba Warsame, posted a photo of Jama on Facebook, stating “may Allah bless your soul”.
The post has attracted dozens of comments, one which stated that he “died a shaheed” or martyr.
Another cousin, Saed Van Riel, posted a photo with the caption “to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return”.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade could not confirm the death, citing limited capabilities in the “extremely dangerous security situation”.
“Australians who become involved in overseas conflicts are putting their own lives in mortal danger,” a spokesman said.
“Any Australians fighting with non-state militia in Syria or Iraq should end their involvement in the conflict now and leave the conflict zone.”
