A New York City parking garage attendant is facing murder charges after allegedly wrestling a gun away from an armed robber and shooting his assailant with it.
FOX News reported the attendant, 57-year-old Moussa Diarra, saw a man looking at cars early Saturday morning and believed the suspect was trying to steal things.
Diarra confronted the suspect, 59-year-old Charles Rhodie, bringing him outside to check his bag.
The suspect is alleged to have then pulled a gun on Diarra and Diarra responded by trying to wrestle the gun away. The gun was fired during the confrontation and the alleged robber was shot.
Both Diarra and Rhodie were charged with attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon, and assault.
The scenario with Diarra brings to mind the July 1, 2022, instance in which 61-year-old bodega owner Jose Alba took actions to defend himself against a career criminal, yet was charged with murder by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), who received campaign funds from the George Soros-backed Color of Change PAC.
The New York Times noted 35-year-old Austin Simon came behind the count and a confrontation between he and Alba ensued, in which Simon allegedly pushed Alba, who responded by fatally stabbing the aggressor.
On July 19, 2022, the charges against Alba were dropped.
