Lamine Bah was a 33-year-old man from West Africa who had moved to Brooklyn to support his parents and seven siblings. He worked at the Hafiya Restaurant and was described as a devoted son and hard worker. He was the family’s primary provider, caring especially for a bedridden mother.

On a Wednesday evening in Crown Heights, building management issued a warning that electric bikes and scooters would be removed. Bah went downstairs to move his own bike and was calling friends to warn them when three or four gunshots rang out. A single bullet struck him in the head. He was taken to Kings County Hospital but was pronounced dead.

The NYPD opened an investigation, canvassing for surveillance footage and seeking two male suspects; video of the individuals has been released and no arrests have been announced. Friends and neighbors gathered at the family’s home to offer condolences.

If anyone saw the shooting or recognizes the two men in the released video, please share what was observed.
