Hassan Khalif Shire Ali was born in 1988. He and his family moved from Somalia to Australia in the 1990s
Shire Ali was known to intelligence agencies and police.
His passport was cancelled in 2015 when the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) believed he planned to travel to Syria.
Police say he held radical views and had links to the Islamic State (IS) group.
However, Shire Ali was never targeted by a Joint Counter Terrorism Teams (JCTT) investigation because an assessment was made that he did not pose a threat to national security.
He was not actively monitored.
