Today, St. Lucia, the sport of soccer, and the world will mourn the death of Isidore Phillip Tisson, 27, who was senselessly gunned down in Brooklyn, NY.
The St. Lucian soccer star was shot once in his head on Utica Avenue in Crown Heights. According to the New York Daily News, Tisson was out celebrating his game winning goal that sent his team and country to the finals of the Digicel Caribbean Cup tournament.
He was leaving a team celebration when an unknown gunman approached his car and fired into his head.
Tisson leaves behind a 3 year old daughter and numerous family members, including his mother. His family, team, and country will most certainly miss him.
A young woman in the car with him suffered a gun shot wound to the chest but is in stable condition at Brookdale Hospital.
It is most unfortunate that this promising, talented, and driven athlete lost his life in such a tragic fashion. It is time that the violence ends so that people may live in both peace and harmony.
The only thing that needs to be killed is the violence.
May Isidore Phillip Tisson eternally rest in peace.
