Aland Etienne, the security guard murdered in a mass shooting committed by Park Ave. shooter Shane Tamura after spending the final moments of his life trying to save others, was laid to rest Saturday.
Scores of mourners, including mayoral Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani, showed up for the funeral for the 46-year-old guard, who, after being mortally wounded , crawled to hit a button to stop the elevators from taking Tamura to the upper floors during his July 28 rampage at 345 Park Ave.
Mayor Adams attended a wake for Etienne before the funeral service.
“Aland Etienne’s life was cut short by terrible violence, and his family lost a warm, loving, generous soul,” the mayor posted on X. “I’m praying for his soul’s eternal rest and his family’s broken hearts.”
