Cambridge Shooting Victim Identified By Family Member: Report
Two people suffered life-threatening injuries after being shot in their cars on Monday.
CAMBRIDGE, MA — One of the two victims shot in the Memorial Drive shooting Monday has been identified by a family member, according to a report from WCVB NewsCenter 5.
Soufi Yomuno said his nephew, Casmir Bangoura, 34, was shot multiple times by Tyler Brown while in his car. Bangoura is reportedly a Cambridge resident and DoorDash delivery driver who was returning to his apartment when he was struck. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said that he and the other male victim remain hospitalized in critical condition.
When law enforcement arrived on the scene, Brown began shooting at them as well before ultimately surrendering. Brown suffered gunshot wounds himself after being shot by a Trooper and a former Marine who had a license to carry. Brown was on parole at the time of the incident stemming from a shootout with Boston police in the spring of 2020.
