A 41-year-old Albanian, Burim Havolli from Kosovo, tragically lost his life in Brooklyn, New York, after trying to stop a person who was stealing packages in the lobby of the building where he worked as a supervisor. The incident occurred Wednesday morning on Ocean Avenue, in the Flatbush area.
Police were called around 8 a.m. and found the 41-year-old man with serious head injuries. He was immediately taken to Kings County Hospital, but did not survive his injuries.
Neighbors said Havolli was attacked while trying to stop the package thief. Residents of the area expressed shock, noting that the neighborhood is becoming increasingly unsafe.
The victim's family describes Burimi as a hardworking and respected man who lost his life doing his duty.
Police are investigating the motive for the attack. A person of interest has been questioned, but no charges have yet been filed.
