  Amadou Diallo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amadou Bailo Diallo (September 2, 1975 – February 4, 1999), a 23 year-old Guinean living in New York City, was killed under controversial circumstances by four police officers in the New York City Police Department's Street Crime Unit, at 1157 Wheeler Avenue in the Soundview section of the Bronx.
On April 18, 2000, Diallo's mother, Kadiatou, and his stepfather, Sankarella Diallo (Diallo is a very common name in Guinea and Mauritania), filed an $81,000,000 (USD) lawsuit against the City of New York and the officers, charging gross negligence, wrongful death, racial profiling, and other violations of Diallo's civil rights.
Kadiatou and Sankarella Diallo remained in the United States, particularly in New York City as self-appointed activists, although their visas to stay in the U.S., which had been extended several times, recently expired and were apparently not renewed.

Amadou Bailo Diallo (September 2, 1975 - February 4, 1999), a Guinean living in New York City, was killed by four white police officers in the New York City Police Department's Street Crime Unit.
Diallo had come to New York City to study computer science, but had not yet enrolled in school.
At their approach, Diallo ran up the outside steps toward his apartment house doorway, turned from the officers, and ignored their orders to stop and "show his hands." He then reached into his jacket, quickly coming out with his wallet.

 Talk:Amadou Bailo Diallo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amadou Bailo Diallo (September 2, 1975 - February 4, 1999) a 22-year-old man from Guinea was killed by four white members of the New York City Police Department's Street Crime Unit on February 4, 1999.
I read on one site that it was a theory put forth by one of the defense attorneys, the reasoning being that Diallo thought the cops were INS agents and panicked, perhaps doing something that would justify the use of deadly force.
I moved the page from Amadou Diallo (shooting victim) to Amadou Bailo Diallo, because seems a bit biased to call Diallo a "victim" in the title.
