A Black Lives Matter activist who was fatally shot in New Orleans earlier this month may have been the victim of an attempted robbery, New Orleans police said Wednesday (Feb. 21).
Investigators revealed the new information, that 32-year-old Muhiyidin d'Baha of Charleston, S.C., may have been shot during a robbery attempt, as part of a public plea for tips in the homicide case.
The well-known activist, whose legal surname was Moye, was shot in the right thigh about 1:24 a.m. Feb. 6, while bicycling in the 1900 block of Bienville Street.
Responding officers found d'Baha lying on the ground, according to the NOPD. EMS took d'Baha to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
At the scene, officers found a bloody bicycle and a blood trail that ran nearly six blocks from where d'Baha's body lay, according to an NOPD report on the shooting.
According to a GoFundMe page run by his niece, Camille Weaver, relatives learned of d'Baha's death about 9 to 9:30 a.m. the next day when they received a phone call "saying that he had died due to excessive blood loss."
d'Baha had been in New Orleans for several days before he was shot, arriving in town the Friday before the Tuesday on which he was killed, his girlfriend, Erica Veal, told NOLA.com |The Times-Picayune.
He wanted to come to the city for Mardi Gras and to connect with local musicians, Veal said, adding that d'Baha played djembe drums, guitar, the flute, piano and the marimba, but loved drums the most.

The chance that the shooter is a racist cracker are pretty much nil.
Apparently his broz didn’t agree.
Sad, but too late for his total understanding of life.
Seems I recall a fair amount of discussion that he had shot himself in the thigh, when this occurred. Has this been disproved?

Not sure if BLM activists really believe that cops are the biggest killers of black men. If they really do, I gotta say that they are genuinely stupid. And you can’t fix stupid. It’s one thing to be self-promoting liars latching on to the current race-baiting fad for fame and fortune and quite another to be completely oblivious.
The NOPD is looking for anyone with information and there is a 5000 reward. The police probably know more than their letting on.

That’s about a liter per block. If you get shot in the femoral artery you are in BIG trouble.
666 = 6 liters, 6 blocks, 6 minutes
Say what you will about New Orleans, but as a city built by pirates, brigands, cut throats and smugglers, it has remained true to its founding principles.
They should've used his real name from the beginning instead of his pretend name.
“The police probably know more than their letting on.”
My guess is that if the guy hated the PIGS, as they call cops, then the cops simply ‘gave him his space’ for a while...long enough to neutralize the issue.
Where’s a cop when you need one?
(A ton of sarcasm here)
I like how you said “built”. It was not established by smugglers and pirates etc. but it was definitely built by them.
