Lil Tjay’s Fatal Shooting
According to law enforcement, the suspect who committed the crime was identified as 27-year-old Mohamed Konate. The criminal attempted to rob the music legend and his two partners, Jeffrey Valdez and Antoine Boys. The incident occurred near the Promenade shopping center.
The Suspected Criminal
Konate was found and arrested nearly thirty days after the crime and is held at Rikers Island. He is awaiting extradition to his state. Allegedly, he fired shots at Tjay and hit his thoracic cavity. Konate also suffered gunshot wounds during the incident. Thankfully Tjay was rushed to the hospital in time.
As this left the ”Zoo York” rapper unconscious for many days, Konate faces sever criminal charges including three counts of first-degree attempted murder. Two other suspects also faced weapon charges
