The Memphis Police Department arrested a 17-year-old identified as a “juvenile male” and charged him with killing an Israeli man last week.
“His name was not released due to his age,” the department told JNS.
Aviv Broek, 21, was shot to death and found by officers shortly after 1:15 a.m. on the morning of Nov. 22 on the 2300 block of Hernando Road in the city. The Tennessee department told JNS on Nov. 24 that “ there is no indication at this time of a hate crime,” but that it was “pursuing all leads.”
Reportedly from Rehovot, Israel, Broek was robbed and killed while on a call as a working locksmith, according to various press reports.
The department charged the unnamed defendant with first-degree murder in perpetration of a robbery and especially aggravated robbery, it said on Thursday.
