Poway Street Renamed in Honor of Chabad Shooting Victim
Lori Lynn Lane was dedicated Friday in memory of Lori Lynn Gilbert-Kaye obm, who was killed last April in a shooting at the Chabad of Poway.
The short street off Stone Canyon Road, near where Gilbert-Kaye lived, was renamed from Eva Drive to Lori Lynn Lane at the request of family and friends and with the blessing of the city.
During a brief ceremony at the intersection Friday morning, Gilbert-Kaye’s best friend, Dr. Roneet Lev, said the street will be a “place of joy and peace, celebration and love to many people.” She said neighbors and those who walk and drive by will be “blessed and inspired by Lori’s legacy.”
Lori Lynn Lane is in the Green Valley neighborhood of northern Poway, roughly one mile south of Chabad of Poway where on April 27, the last day of Passover, a 19-year-old man opened fire, killing Gilbert-Kaye and injuring several others. The congregation’s rabbi, Yisroel Goldstein, 57, who has since retired, lost a finger in the shooting. Two other people — Almog Peretz, 34, and his 8-year-old niece, Noya Dahan — were also injured.
