The 42-year-old from the Ivory Coast was killed in a drive-by shooting on April 6, 2019, as he walked to the Ħal Far open centre after watching a football match with friends. Another two African men were injured.  

The street art has been set up at St Elmo Place, Valletta opposite a biennale installation about abortion, a roundabout at Coradino near Mcast, a road linking Fgura to Cospicua, the Tal-Qroqq skatepark and a slip road to Albert Town.

Two men, both AFM soldiers at the time, have been accused of  Lassana”s murder and are out on bail.
