A beloved father of 13 children who saved his family from a house fire started by their landlord was gunned down outside of a Brooklyn brownstone early Sunday morning in an apparent targeted attack.
Lavel Fraiser, 40, known by friends as “Flip,” was ambushed and fatally shot in the torso by a group of gunmen who were “waiting for him,” neighbors and police said.
Fraiser was found in the backyard of a building at 673 Sterling Place just after 1 a.m., police said.
“He got shot outside in front. He staggered in all the way to the back. He was hiding back there,” the building’s super, John Williams, 49, told The Post.
“I don’t know what the beef was. He was a nice guy.”

It appears that he interfered in a business transaction.
He should have taken Eddie Murphy’s advice.

I thought guns are illegal in NYC !
Hi capacity Semi auto shotguns are a required accoutrement these days, just to walk down the street.
This story is a list of things that make you shake your head.
Gunned down at the behest of his landlord? Generally, Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn have Orthodox Jewish landlords.
Fraiser's wife, Andriana, 28, said he was a "superhero" father to his 13 children -- four of whom they share.
"He saved me and my children’s lives. We were in a house fire last September," she said. "He saved all of us, me and my six children."
You might be a ghetto mutant if you need an advanced math degree to sort out your family situation.
The landlord is Rafiqul Islam
‘nough said.
“Rafiqul Islam was arrested by FDNY marshals for allegedly igniting the blaze in an interior stairwell of a property he owns at 212 Forbell St. in Cypress Hills in the early morning of Sept. 26, fire officials said.
Islam was apparently enraged that his second-floor tenants had stopped paying rent and refused to move out, so he allegedly decided to force them out by starting the fire, according to investigators.”

People seem to think this is all new. This has been happening for as long as I can remember in Brooklyn. I’ve been in the hood in BK for over 40 years, facing the same foolishness. That is why I send my son to New Rochelle to attend school. Noir folks will never seem to get it together here. I wish you all would stop voting based on color. Call me an Uncle T or whatever you want. It is what it is. Oh yeah, and I’ve applied for my concealed carry, not because of the white folks either. Yup, I said it. For those of you who may ask, what have I done to help? I volunteer as much as I can to talk to the young noir folks to help guide them in the right direction. If the parents are trash, it makes it so much more difficult.”
" “He got shot outside in front. He staggered in all the way to the back."
Its a good thing he wasn't shot "Inside-Out", that would have been a mess.
And it looks like Chris Christie has gotten a new job.
That’s going to take a chunk out of social security. 13 kids now receive social security until 18.
"Rafiq Islam, threw black tar on the front door and allegedly said he was going to burn them out of their apartment after the government stopped helping with payment in a landlord-tenant dispute dating back to January of this month. The residents have lived in the building since May 2021."
This happened in a different building owned by Islam. Apparently it is the government who stopped paying rent. This had to be during covid. Some landlords were lucky in receiving help. Anyway, me thinks the tenants were the problem there.
I wonder what the issue was at 673.
If your family tree looks like a quadratic equation.
Here’s your sign.

“found in the backyard of a building at 673 Sterling Place just after 1 a.m., police said.”
Their interpretation of the word “Sterling” and mine — well, they differ.
” ‘He got shot outside in front. He staggered in all the way to the back. He was hiding back there,’ the building’s super, John Williams, 49, told The Post.”
The “Theme From Jaws” playing in the background all day long in this building should have served as a warning.
Thank you for the correction!
“That’s going to take a chunk out of social security. 13 kids now receive social security until 18.”
Keeping all the guilty perps in prison isn’t going to be cheap. This is NY so the terms should be shorter.
