Amadou Bailo Diallo

unknown Guinea

Amadou Bailo Diallo was a Guinean immigrant who became a symbol of police violence in the United States after he was fatally shot by New York City police officers in 1999. Mistaken for a criminal, Diallo's death sparked widespread outrage and led to discussions about racial profiling and police brutality. His story gained further prominence in American culture through Bruce Springsteen's song 'American Skin (41 Shots),' which reflects on the tragic circumstances surrounding his death and the broader issues of systemic violence faced by marginalized communities.
