Israeli locksmith murdered in Memphis after being lured out on a job

An Israeli national working as a locksmith in Memphis, Tennessee, was gunned down and robbed after being lured out to a job last week — raising fears of possible terrorism among the local Jewish community just days after an Israeli rabbi mysteriously disappeared in the United Arab Emirates.Aviv Broek, 21, was killed in the 2300 block of Hernando Road in Memphis, police told The Post. 

Broek arrived at the client’s address for work, but when he became unreachable for two hours, a friend went out to look for him and found him shot outside of his car, Israel National News reported.

The attacker stole his work equipment and left him to die at the scene, the outlet reported.

Authorities are investigating the murder and said there is no indication it was a hate crime, but they are pursuing all leads.

Memphis police are still attempting to locate possible suspects, and no arrests had been made in connection to the murder as of Sunday morning, police said.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry stated it was aware of the murder and that the details of the case are still being examined.

Broek’s relatives are now working to return his body to Israel to be buried.

A GoFundMe set up to help Broek’s family fund his funeral said the 21-year-old had a “kind heart and a bright future.”

The fundraiser had received over $50,000 in donations as of Sunday afternoon.

News of Broek’s killing comes after Israel announced it was investigating the disappearance of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi in the United Arab Emirates, with security officials fearing he was kidnapped or murdered by an Iran-linked terror cell.
