NYC Garage Worker Charged with Attempted Murder in Shooting of Thief
A Manhattan parking garage attendant, Moussa Diarra, who was shot twice while confronting an alleged thief, has been charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. Diarra wrestled the gun away from the suspect and shot him in the chest. The suspect, Charles Rhodie, was also charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and burglary. The charges against Diarra have sparked outrage and comparisons to the case of Manhattan bodega clerk Jose Alba, who was charged with murder after a fatal confrontation in his store.
