A law enforcement official says two attackers who stormed a kosher market in New Jersey had apparently been followers of the Black Hebrew Israelites.
The two attackers who stormed a kosher market in Jersey City had apparently been followers of the Black Hebrew Israelites — a fringe group whose members have been known to rail against white people and Jews — and one of them had posted anti-Semitic statements online, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.
“The why and the ideology and the motivation — that’s what we’re investigating,” New Jersey Atty. Gen. Gurbir S. Grewal said Wednesday, adding that authorities are trying to determine whether anyone else was involved.
The victims killed in the store were: Mindel Ferencz, 31, who with her husband owned the grocery; 24-year-old Moshe Deutsch, a rabbinical student from Brooklyn who was shopping there; and store employee Douglas Miguel Rodriguez, 49.Members of New York’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish community gathered Wednesday night for funerals for Ferencz and Deutsch. Thousands of people, mostly men, followed Ferencz’s casket through the streets of Brooklyn, hugging and crying.
