And, it appears it is likely African immigrant on African immigrant crime. What the heck is going on up in Maine? (Just a couple of days ago we had this from Lewiston.*) And, today’s story is not the first violent crime we’ve reported in the immigrant community from Portland, the Peoples Republic of Maine (now that Massachusetts seems to be coming to its senses). Hat tip: Susan, an irate Mainer
Check out these refugees from the Mulongo family at today’s Portland Press Herald and be sure to see the comments!
PORTLAND — Serge Mulongo, who escaped civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and eventually found refuge in Portland, was gunned down Wednesday night at the corner of Park Avenue and Weymouth Street, police said.
Investigators interviewed people who were in the area at 11:15 p.m., when residents reported hearing shots fired in quick succession. No arrests were made Thursday.
Police say they are particularly interested in two men who were seen running from the area right after the shooting. They have not been able to identify the pair, and aren’t positive that the men were involved in the killing.
Mulongo, who was 24, could have a hot temper and had a circle of friends who made it hard for him to stay out of trouble, said his brother Yannick Mulongo.
Yannick Mulongo is in the Cumberland County Jail, awaiting trial on charges of manslaughter and aggravated drunken driving in a crash in September that killed Guy Kitoko, 18, a relative by marriage.
Thank Catholic Charities, the only refugee resettlement agency in Maine, and Maine’s welfare magnet.
* Come to think of it maybe Portland’s Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence needs to clean up its own nest before it runs off to Frederick, MD, Boise, ID, Fort Wayne, IN and Manchester, NH to tell citizens in those cities to be nice to immigrants!
