Larisa Komsky, 50, was killed while walking home after parking her car on Homecrest Avenue before 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Komsky was stabbed twice in the leg and once in the hand, police said. She was pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital.
Witnesses told police they saw a green mini-van fleeing from the scene.
Shocked neighbors described Komsky as a friendly woman, who went to shul regularly at a synagogue on her block.
Komsky, an accountant, ran her own business in Sheepshead Bay, a couple of miles from her home.
“It’s unbelievable,” Boris Feldman, who owns a business in the same building as Komsky, said. “Very terrible news for us. She’s a beautiful person. The nicest person I know of.”
Detectives removed a box of files from Komsky’s office Tuesday.
At first detectives thought Komsky was killed by someone she had a relationship with but Guzman reports video has ruled that out.
A motive for the murder remains unknown.
The investigation is ongoing.
What is happening to us in front of our own eyes??? Last time I checked I was living in the usa, not in germany. Hashe’m yerachem BDE.
Kletzky, Baba Rafael and now this, just unbelievable.
R”L.
Why would someone with stab wounds to the extremities not be saved by quick surgery?
It was also reported that ambulance took forever to come. As the operator kept asking who what when repeatedly!!!!!
Firstly: BD”E! may they find and punish him swiftly.
why do people start with the tatty, tatty, tatty, nazi germany shtick every time something happens. Yes it is a tragedy, but we live in on Earth. There will be tragedies stop getting all crazy about it. yes it doesn’t happen in our community often but when it does everyone starts with probably not a Jew and oi vey, oi vey, oi vey. Can’t we all be adults and just say BD”E and hope the criminal is caught?
BD”E!
Did it dawn on you that she may have bled to death r”l??
I can’t believe it. So so sad. She taught an entrepeneurial/business class for frum women a few years ago in Williamsburg. I used her accounting services too. She was very, very nice and patient. Intelligent, refined and very ehrlich. A tragedy.
Drawing swastikas and car burnings are very Nazi-like behaviors. So is murdering innocent Jews. We are not saying that there is mass murder or genocide going on c”v, but there is indisputably a rise in anti-Semitism. We are in golus!
Just bec all these incidents seem unrerlated- doesn’t mean there’s no spiritual message for all this life we are losing- we are one soul- one family- and according to the Rambam anyone who thinks its natural is a min
I’m crying reading this article right now… what is happening in this world?
Please forgive me, but I am unsure (as a gentile), of what passages from scripture I am allowed to read for such a situation as this.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
I am so scared for everyone…
I don’t even know what else to say, other than we will be praying for you all!
Whenever a Russian immigrant is involved, chances are it is either a crime of passion or related to business activities. This is not anti-Semitism. It’s a mob hit or a family feud.
oops! Sorry to double post! I messed up… (lol)
But wow… I prayed so hard last night after reading this article… it still sends chills up my spine this morning.
I am heartbroken for the Jewish community’s loss.
I have heard she was taken out by a pro , and it was in connection with a shady client of her accountant practice
Why is this crime covered in obscurity ? Over 24 hours have passed and we get the same few paragraphs than at the begining. Nothing published in the orthodox written press. Something very strang here.
B. D. E. I agree with #46 ; I have uttered those sentiments before. However, whenever a reference is made to that particular community, and its criminal activities, scores of people come to their defense. The reason that these homicides keep occuring seems to be the permissive atmosphere which exists in our society. The perps know that their chances of getting arrested are less than 50%; and, their chances of getting convicted are even less than that. Therefore, it appears to be a gamble which they are willing to take. Also, the Parole Boards in many states routinely release deviant predators out onto the streets. Many of them reoffend again within a brief period. The Parole Boards are not really accountable to the general public. However, if members of the Parole Board were made personally liable, and they were hit in the pocketbooks, this situation might change.
arisa Komsky’s bloodcurdling screams woke up neighbors at around 12:45 a.m. on normally quiet Homecrest Avenue in Sheepshead Bay.
“What are you doing here?” a terrified Komsky shouted at her attacker.
