by CrownHeights.info

Wesley LePatner OBM, a Jewish wife and mother, was one of the victims in the shooting attack that took place in Manhattan yesterday. An executive at Blackstone, she was in the lobby as the gunman entered the building.

She was 43 and had four children.

LePanter was the global head of core+ real estate and CEO of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, one of the world’s largest investment firms. She also a board member for UJA-Federation of New York and The Heschel School.

The crazed gunman opened fire in 345 Park Ave in Manhattan over alleged unhappiness with the National Football League, whose headquarters are found in the building. Four people, including Wesley, were shot in the attack, with one officer of the NYPD also being killed.

The gunman also died in the attack.
