THE heartbreaking last post of a fashion designer who was shot and killed at a protest last weekend has been revealed.

Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, who went by Afa, spoke about gratitude and community in an interview just days before he was fatally shot as an innocent bystander at a No Kings protest on Saturday night.

Ah Loo, 39, was hit by a stray bullet allegedly shot by a “peacekeeping” volunteer at the nationwide protest, police said. He later died in the hospital.

He had no connection to the gunman and was “not the intended target of the gunfire,” according to the Salt Lake City Police Department.

Ah Loo, a father of two, was best known as a Samoan fashion designer who competed on Season 17 of Project Runway.

He finished in 13th place in 2019.

Days before the shooting, Ah Loo was seen smiling and speaking about how his Pacific Islander heritage relates to his career in a video interview shared on Facebook.

“Our people are very creative people,” he said in the video interview by PacifikaByDesign.

“Now that we’re here… Why don’t we pull our people up with us and work together to make a name for ourselves and our people?

“It is difficult to work in spaces that you don’t normally see our people in. But it is with grit and perseverance that we can get to where we are.

“We’re slowly making our way there. We’re still learning. We’re grateful for people that have sacrificed their time and talents to help us.”
