Hundreds honor security guard killed in New York office tower shooting
August 10, 2025
The life of Aland Etienne, the security guard who was killed last month at a Manhattan office tower, is being remembered. Hundreds turned out for a memorial on Saturday for the father and grandfather, who was among four people killed on July 28 by a gunman targeting the headquarters of the National Football League. Etienne was 46 years old, an immigrant from Haiti who came to the U.S. in 2017. He’s being remembered as a dedicated father and grandfather who was faithfully working at his post when the gunman opened fire. Etienne’s brother called him a humble, steady and kind New York hero.
