Ebi Lebovol, who survived the Holocaust, the founder of the famous deli on 2 th Delhi Avenue, early in the morning of March 4, 1996, on the way to work, decided to call at the bank. He reportedly received bullets in the head and stomach, and died as a result. The weapon from which he was killed was found and found out that it appeared in other murders, but the killer was never found.

In New York, the cases are not closed due to the statute of limitations, so this was decided by the police detective of New York who was investigating the case at the time, James Picchione. He also offered to join the investigation of his former partner, who had already retired, Jeff Salta. Together they teamed up with Detective Jason Palamer.

What is known

On a March morning, Lebovol drove a van to NatWest bank just a few blocks from his popular grocery store on 2 Avenue and 10 Street to deposit $ 10 000 into the account. When he drove up to the bank, a man or several people pulled him back into the van and shot him twice. Then they drove another block to 1 Avenue, where Lebovol opened the van door and fell out.

The passerby saw this and managed to inform the police.

“The police officer approached Eby and Eby said something along the lines of, ‘They got me,’” Piccione said.

The incident shocked the public and has long been the focus of media attention, as the initial findings seemed promising. Detectives, including Picchione, were sure to find the killer of the so-called "Mayor of New York."

“If this happened today, there wouldn’t be so many questions because there are video cameras everywhere,” Piccione said. “However, even then I was confident that at 8:30 in the morning there would be many witnesses and the problem would be resolved quite quickly.”

The identikit of the driver, compiled by the witness, was immediately placed in public places. A bag in which the deceased carried money to the bank was found on 25-th Street, and a day later on 30-th Street they found his wallet. The weapon from which Lebovol was shot dead was unassembled. It turned out that he was used to kill two other hotel employees in Westchester County and at the time of the Bronx murder in 1994. However, 23 a year later, no one was arrested.

His family suggested that perhaps the one who knew the killers was terribly scared to talk.

Now Picchione, Salta and Palamar want to look at the murder from a different angle and close the resonant Lebovol affair.

For any information that will lead to the detention of the killer, promised a reward of 150 000 dollars.

Those who own the information are asked to call the number: (800) 577-TIPS.
