Police investigate fatal shooting of man near Club Timbuktu

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee police are investigating a fatal shooting of a man that took place outside of Club Timbuktu near Center and Holton around 2 a.m. Saturday.

Police say a 42-year-old man was killed as he and another woman were being robbed in the street.  The woman was not hurt during the robbery or shooting.

FOX6 News spoke to a woman who didn't want to be identified, but told us her friend Ibrahim Assama was the one shot and killed outside the club.

"He was told to empty his pockets and to hand over everything which he complied," she said. "Then they told him to take off his shoes which he did." She also said his friend also handed the armed robbers her purse, but they shot Assama anyway.

Ibrahim Assama leaves behind a wife and two children. We're told by friend he's originally from the western African country of Senegal.

Officials say they do not have any suspects in custody.
