A Black Lives Matter activist from South Carolina died Tuesday (Feb. 6) after being shot in the thigh earlier in the day on Bienville Street in New Orleans, according to the NOPD.
The shooting victim has been identified as Muhiyidin Moye, an NOPD spokesman said Tuesday night.
Moye -- who preferred the last name d'Baha, according to the Washington Post -- and was called "Moye" or "Moya" by loved ones, was struck by gunfire shortly before 1:30 a.m. in the 1900 block of Bienville Street.
d'Baha's mother did not want to speak with a reporter when reached by phone Tuesday night, saying only that her son was a "wonderful person."
Police initially reported the shooting occurred in the 2400 block of Bienville Street, but later updated the location to the 1900 block.
d'Baha was taken to a local hospital and later died of his wounds, police confirmed.
Nearly a year ago d'Baha drew national attention with a famed leap, hurtling past yellow police tape and throwing himself toward a Confederate battle flag in attempts to tear it down, during a protest in Charleston, S.C.
The flag was being waved before an appearance by activist Bree Newsome at the College of Charleston. In 2015, Newsome became an iconic figure after she scaled a flagpole to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the South Carolina statehouse.
According to a Washington Post report, d'Baha said he tried to wrestle the flag away to "help them understand what it is to meet a real resistance, to meet people that aren't scared."
d'Baha was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, according to The Washington Post report.

Wonderful son, the terrorist son, if Dear Leader had a son, one of his spawn.
Hmmm...shot in the THIGH while riding a bike at 1:30 am? I wonder if the NOPD will be checking for powder burns on his thigh and to see if he had been packing a poor quality, but still deadly, firearm?
What happens in the ‘hood, stays in the ‘hood...
Here’s the video of how he got his 15 minutes of fame: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/black-lives-matter-leader-arrested-grabbing-confederate-flag-article-1.2980075
“d’Baha’s mother did not want to speak with a reporter when reached by phone Tuesday night, saying only that her son was a “wonderful person.””
Probably studying to be an aeronautical engineer...
Good point. Definitely could be an accident.
One less for the NFL whiners to kneel for.
Now if only the rest would follow suit.
What’s this about a bicycle?
Died in the choc-ahhh-lot city. How ironic. Like posted in this thread it sounds like he was carrying and shot himself. No matter. A conspiracy will be invented for him.
Many tourists fail to appreciate that New Orleans is about the most dangerous city in America, on a per capita basis.
It is the wrong place to go acting up.
I’d be expecting more of this in the future. Jason Bourne kinda stuff.
The “shot while riding his bike” detail was from an article from another FR thread on same incident.

d’Baha man.
Who let the dogs out.
Likely explanation. Close contact wound that severs femoral artery, bleeds to death in minutes. Just sad...................
When blacks practice slavery and racism on their own... no media outcry
By the way, proof that shooting in the leg is deadly contrary to what libs say. The other day there were two shootings in Chicago, the one in the head survived not the one in the leg... it bleeds quick
High Point or Jimenez gangsta
