African-American cellist murdered in the USA
Mouhamed Cisse, an African-American cellist, has been shot dead in Philadelphia on his way back from a Black Lives Matter demonstration, according to a report by France Musique.
According to the France Musique report, Cisse was shot dead on a street in Philadelphia near his home. He was accompanied by a 17-year-old boy with a hand injury. It is apparently not yet clear whether his death is connected to the demonstration. During the time of Cisse's murder, there had been 16 victims of gun violence in Philadelphia.
Cisse was a student in an instrumental program at Philadelphia District School and part of a music and social program called Musicopia String Orchestra. His death has caused great consternation in the city. A fundraiser has been organized to help his family.
