Lil Tjay Shooter’s Mugshot Released, Beaten Badly By Rikers Island Police

Lil Tjay’s Shooter Mohamed Konate Has Been Arrested By The Police

New York rapper Lil Tjay is currently in intensive care recovering from gunshot wounds. Reports reaching us at Dreddsworld is that police have arrested a man whom they believe was the gunman who shot the rapper.

The rapper’s alleged shooter – 27-year-old Mohamed Konate – has been arrested as of Friday (July 22) and is currently being held at Rikers Island.

And by the looks of his face – he was beat pretty bad while taken into custody. Police believe that Lil Tjay’s shooting was from an attempted robbery on the rapper.

The 21-year-old was with two friends, Antoine Boyd (22), and Jeffrey Valdez (24) at the time, and all three of the young men were seated in a Dodge Durango near the Bronx’s Promenade shopping centre.

The New York native reportedly resisted Konate’s attempt to rob him, causing the suspect to allegedly fire shots that struck him in the thoracic cavity, whose function is to hold the rib cage, heart, lungs, esophagus, and other vital organs.

On top of the injuries sustained by Tjay, one of his friends was also shot once, and Konate was wounded as the struggle ensued.

We reported earlier that Lil Tjay’s shooter Mohamed Konate seems to have connections with rapper A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. Pictures from A Boogie’s music videos shows there are some sort of connections between the two. Mohamed Konate can be vividly seen in multiple A Boogie visuals.
