As a USAF veteran, I constantly tell anyone that I am around how I loved to serve my country and would do it again if asked because I feel that sense of patriotism and dedication.
Sometimes I just don’t know what crawls up and lives in an individual’s head to make them want to hurt another person mentally or physically. It doesn’t make sense. In this case, a young man purposely pushed a U.S. Marine in front of a train, to his death.
According to witness reports, Balde fell between two train cars leaving the station and was dragged to his death. After an autopsy was done, it was determined the fallen Marine died of multiple injuries due to being pushed into a moving train, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. His death was ruled a homicide.

An 18-year-old man is accused of shoving a Marine in front of a CTA train and killing him.
Ryan Munn was arrested on Friday night. Police said he shoved Mamadou Balde, 29, in front of a moving train at the Jackson Red Line stop on Tuesday afternoon.
Balde served in the US Marine Corp. from 2008 to 2015, doing two tours in Afghanistan. He attended Lane Tech High School and as soon as he graduated, his father had him join the Marines.
“He was walking away from these people. He didn’t want any confrontation. They followed him and threw him in front of the coming train,” Balde’s dad said.
