Councilman David G. Greenfield released the following statement on last night’s murder of 59-year-old Isaac Kadare inside his neighborhood store:

“I am deeply saddened that such a horrific act took place in our community, as there is no place for this type of violence in our society. My condolences to the family of Isaac Kadare, including his wife and four children. By all accounts, Mr. Kadare was a kind, caring and devoted family man who never hesitated to help those in need. I am joining with the Sephardic Community Federation to offer $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for this heinous crime. We must stand together as a community and make sure the perpetrator is held accountable and taken off our streets as soon as possible,” said Councilman David G. Greenfield, who urges anyone with any information about this crime to contact the NYPD’s tip line at 1-800-577-TIPS.
