Brooklyn, NY: Authorities have confirmed that a man has lost his life to a targeted shooting outside his house in Brooklyn.
Tragically, the father of thirteen children was shot and killed outside of a brownstone in Brooklyn early Sunday morning. He had rescued his family from a house fire sparked by their landlord.
Authorities and neighbors stated that a group of shooters who were “waiting for him” ambushed and fatally shot Lavel Fraiser, 40, who was known as “Flip” by his pals.
The cops reported finding Fraiser in the rear of a building at 673 Sterling Place just after 1 a.m.
According to Fraiser’s 28-year-old wife Andriana, he is a “superhero” dad to his 13 kids, four of whom are theirs.
His dramatic rescue of his family from their former flat, which had been threatened by their landlord who had allegedly set fire to the building due to one tenant’s unpaid rent, was recounted by his wife.
He prevented death for my family and me. She explained that last September, they were victims of a house fire. “My six children and I were rescued by him.”
