The family of an Israeli citizen who fell victim to a deadly shooting and robbery last weekend in Tennessee believes the attack may have been terror-related, a lead currently being pursued by local law enforcement. Israel's Foreign Ministry acknowledged awareness of the incident and confirmed that details are under investigation.
The victim, Aviv Brook, worked as a locksmith in Memphis's Jewish community. Family members report that he was fatally attacked after responding to a service call. The family is currently working with authorities to repatriate his remains to Israel for burial.
According to a report by Fox News, Brook was fatally shot in south Memphis. Police responded to the scene shortly after 1:15 a.m. last Friday, where they discovered his body. The investigation remains active, with no arrests made at this time.
