How 27-yr-old Amadou was killed by bullet from Brooklyn shooting

By Isa Isawade

A 27-year-old innocent bystander, Amadou Diallo, was on Sunday cut down by a stray bullet in a gang-fueled Brooklyn lounge mass shooting in New York.

Amadou was reportedly blasted in the head during the shootout inside Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights about 3:25 a.m.

The gun battle also led to the death of two of the four shooters with 11 survivors wounded.

Amadou’s sister, 25-year-old registered nurse, Rouguiatou Diallo, told The News: “He always brought candy to my kids.

“They loved him like he was their own father. When they ask about him, I say he has gone to work. They are so young and it’s so painful.”

According to the New York Daily News findings, Amadou arrived in the United States in September 2023 from his home country of Guinea.

He was said to be doing his deliveryman job for Uber Eats the night he was killed.

New York Police Department (NYPD) could not establish what Amadou was doing at the lounge on Franklin Ave. near Carrol St. but could confirm he had no involvement in the clash that killed him.

“He was absolutely innocent. My brother was an extremely kind person. It is a great loss for our family,” Rouguiatou said of her slain brother.
