St. Lucien Soccer Star Isidore Phillip Tisson Shot & Killed Outside Brooklyn Tropiks Night Club

SHOCK: Isidore Phillip Tisson, 27, a St. Lucien soccer player in New York City for a tournament, was shot and killed early Monday, just hours after scoring the goal that secured a place for his team in the final, according to the NY Daily News.

Isidore Phillip Tisson, 27, was shot in a car outside a Crown Heights cafe around 4:25 a.m. where he’d stopped after leaving a nightclub where the team celebrated.

When Tisson climbed back into the car, an unknown gunman approached from behind, and opened fire. Sources say the bullet passed through Tisson’s head and struck a 24-year-old woman who was seated next to him in the chest. She was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition, police said. Two other women who were in the car were unhurt. Source

This is a sad turn of events and will certainly cast a pall on the final soccer match, if it will go on at all. No suspect has been apprehended in this tragedy. What a senseless loss!
