19-year-old man charged with attempted murder in shooting of NYC high school student
2023-03-16
[NYPOST] The gunman who allegedly shot a 17-year-old boy near his Upper West Side high school — sparking a burst of gun violence in possible retaliation — has been charged with attempted murder, cops said Wednesday.

Cheick Coulibaly, 19, was busted a short time after the shooting that erupted around 9:50 a.m. Tuesday at the corner of Amsterdam Avenue and West 68th Street, police said.

Coulibaly — who was out on bail in a 2021 armed robbery case — allegedly shot the young victim several times in the torso, cops said. The teen had to undergo surgery but was expected to survive.

The bloodshed stemmed from a dispute that began two blocks north, involving four or five teenage boys, authorities said.

After being shot, the victim staggered to his school, the Maxine Greene High School for Imaginative Inquiry, police said. That school, in addition to nearby LaGuardia High School of Music, was placed on lockdown after the shooting.

#7  No, I'm only a man of the West,
And hardly its bravest or best,
Though I made the first mess
In this thread, so... I guess?
No. Those victims are just self-oppressed.

#5  FYI: South African citizen and passport...$200,000 USD. should easily cover it, few question asked. South African home loan requires 50% down and substantial local bank balance (plan on a minimum of $250k in USD or R2.5m)

#1  Seeing the usual pattern here...

West African under arrest!
Would it not, asks an expert, be best,
Since the man could've died
On the Upper West Side,
If the West were to quickly confess?
