Dozens of mourners gathered at the St. Lucia house in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, Wednesday to raise money so the family of a soccer star shot execution-style can bury him in his homeland.
Isidore Philip Tisson, 27, was shot twice in the head as he sat in a car on a Brooklyn street early Monday, just hours after the star striker scored a game-winning goal to send his team to the finals of the Digicel Caribbean Cup.
"I'm taking it one day at a time," said Tisson's father, Phillip Alcee, 61. "I am hoping justice takes its course."
Investigators are still searching for a gunman and are exploring whether the bullets were intended for one of the four women who were with Tisson, sources said.
Tisson may have stepped into the middle of a beef that started between the woman and another man inside the nearby Tropiks nightclub, sources said.
