Konate is being charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder.
The New York native reportedly resisted Konate’s attempt to rob him, causing the suspect to allegedly fire shots that struck him in the thoracic cavity, whose function is to hold the rib cage, heart, lungs, esophagus, and other vital organs.
On top of the injuries sustained by Tjay, one of his friends was also shot once, and Konate was wounded as the struggle ensued. According to investigators, an associate helped the rumoured gunman to a BMW after the shooting. He was then dropped off at Lennox Hill Hospital on Park Avenue in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. It’s been noted that the identity of Konate’s associate will likely remain under wraps, as he’s been cooperating with authorities.
For his part, Lil Tjay was airlifted to Hackensack University Medical Center to undergo emergency surgery.
Konate’s charges include three counts of attempted first-degree murder, and his two associates have been hit with second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon.
