(Social Media)(Social Media)Brutal murder suspect of Orthodox Jewish man identified, on the runSuspect in brutal unprovoked slaying of Baltimore Jewish man identified as Avery Miller; assailant is still at large.By Lauren Marcus, World Israel NewsWashington D.C. police named Avery Miller, 27, as the suspect who is believed to have brutally murdered Aryeh Wolf, an Orthodox Jewish man from Baltimore, in an apparently unprovoked attack.Wolf, who was 25, was married and the father of a six-month-old baby. He was installing solar panels in a Southeastern D.C. neighborhood when Miller “walked up, produced a handgun, and shot multiple times,” D.C. police Capt. Kevin Kentish told The Washington Post.After viewing security camera footage, he added that “it does not appear that anything was taken from the decedent.” Because the incident was not related to a robbery and Miller and Wolf had no previous interaction prior to the shooting, the motive for the murder remains unclear.Ynet reported that Wolf’s family said they believe that he is the victim of an antisemitic hate crime, as he wore traditional religious Jewish clothing which made his faith clearly identifiable.Breaking – DC police are searching for the man pictured below left in connection to the murder of a Jewish man – Aryeh Wolf, 25 of Baltimore (pic right)The suspect approached Aryeh yesterday as he was working & shot himWolf tragically leaves behind a wife and 6 month old baby pic.twitter.com/QOTe4sB44g— StopAntisemitism (@StopAntisemites) August 11, 2022“We want everybody looking for this individual.
