Maimouna (she declined to give her last name) told Cambridge Day she lives with her mother and uncle near the scene of last Monday\u2019s shooting. She was at work at the Massachusetts General Hospital Ketamine Clinic when her mother called her to inform her of the shooting.<\/p>\n

Her mother shared photos of what appeared to be her uncle\u2019s car at the scene, but there was some confusion over whose car he had been driving that day. In the meantime, her mother\u2019s repeated calls to his cell phone went unanswered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I got a picture of a person on the ground,\u201d Maimouna said. \u201cI knew it was him, because of his beard and the shirt that he was wearing.\u201d She recognized it as the same shirt he had on that morning.<\/p>\n

Maimouna rushed home to meet her mother, and then back to Mass General \u2014 this time, to the emergency room, where emergency responders brought her uncle, who had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n

After her uncle, who has been identified in media reports as Casimir or Casmir Bangoura, a DoorDash driver, was admitted to the hospital, he was interviewed by state police investigating the shooting. During the portion of the community meeting where community members had the opportunity to speak, she asked local leaders why officers had asked her uncle if he had any \u201cgang affiliation or drug affiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maimouna told Cambridge Day state police had questioned her and asked if her uncle had any \u201cenemies.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how this line of questioning made her feel, Maimouna simply said: \u201cIt is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui had been in touch with her family, but otherwise none of the other \u201chigher ups\u201d in the city or state had contacted them.<\/p>\n

Maimouna gave an update on her uncle\u2019s condition. \u201cHe\u2019s as good as he can be. He can\u2019t walk like he usually does,\u201d she said. She said it was initially thought he had three gunshot wounds, but Maimouna said doctors are still finding more bullets.<\/p>\n
