Local Black Lives Matter activist Muhiyidin d'Baha was shot and killed in New Orleans Monday morning, according to a GoFundMe page set up by his niece. The New Orleans Police Department have not returned requests for the full police report.
Camille Weaver wrote that d'Baha was shot at around 1 a.m. Monday morning and died of excessive blood loss at around 9:30 a.m.
“We don’t have many details, but will update as soon as we do,” she wrote. “His body is currently in New Orleans, LA and we are raising money to bring him home to Charleston and then have a memorial service/funeral for his family and friends. This is all so unexpected, so any contribution will help.”
Every moment counts; let's capture them.
