It was two years ago, the 30th of Shvat, February 28th 2006, when R. Efraim Klein HY”D was murdered in cold blood on the streets of Crown Heights. He had gone out in order to move his minivan to avoid having to move it later for alternate side parking regulations the next day. He was 47 years old.
He was shot through the window of his car, and was later pronounced dead in Kings County Hospital. His son was set to have his wedding the following week. The investigation by the NYPD has ‘gone cold’ according to a source in Crown Heights’s 71st Pct.
Police marked the anniversary of his death by distributing posters and flyers around the neighborhood and the area of the crime, in hopes to get new leads on the case which has long gone cold.

from a comment on vosizneias:
“They already have enough info to track them down if they wanted to. They know which of 2 brothers ac tually fired the guns from police informers; they know where they live.
”Truth is, they just don’t care. Too much work & they’re too lazy.
That’s what we have here, folks. An indifferent commander desperate to get out of here & uninspired, uninformed cops who move like snails except if a Jew double parks or if the donut truck pulls up.
“They make me sick.”
Aveng his blood
There is now doubt that the police know who did it!! If the pressure of the community would be constant and demanding and heavy they would have no choice but to go after the leads that they DO have, and they have leads. This is ‘egla arufa’ We owe it to R’ Efraim to avenge his blood!

I knew Efraim a”h but didn’t hear of this until now, two years later.
Abershter! Please! Bring Your Moshiach now!
Disgraceful
If a cop gets a hangnail in Crown Heights, they’ll arrest every black kid they see until they find the guy.
For this, eh, it’s only another Jew, if he walks into the 71st and gives himself up, he’d have to wait for the cops to put down their donuts.

I hope they catch the animal responsible for this senseless murder.
I hope Mr. Klein’s family will finally have some closure.
I hope Moshiach will be revealed today.
Innocent bloodshed again
If it was a cop, they would have had the perp the next day
The police should be accountable for their failure. If it were a cop and the “case went cold” someone would lose their job over it at the very least, not to mention votes for thier boss.
I hope the people of CH will remember this when Ray Kelly runs for mayor.

Please attend the 71 pct Cummunity Police Meetings and speak up when it comes time for comments. At the past meeting (Feb) we hardly had a minyan. We need to show up and put pressure on Vega.
