Aviv Broek, 21, originally from Rehovot, lured by fake service call; found dead near his car in remote location; police report he was shot four times; no suspects have been arrested
Aviv Broek, 21, originally from Rehovot, Israel, had traveled to the U.S. for work and settled in Tennessee. According to police, Broek was called to change a car lock in the city’s south side. Upon arriving at the location and exiting his vehicle, he was robbed and shot four times in the stomach. Police said Broek did not resist and died on the spot.
"On Thursday evening, around 10:30 p.m., Aviv received a call to change a lock," Ilai, Broek's friend and co-worker, told Ynet. "When he got out of the car in an isolated alley, he was robbed and shot four times in the stomach. According to the police, he did not resist or struggle, yet they shot and killed him."
Ilai said that a friend who worked with Aviv located him shortly after. "They reached him two hours after the shooting. They found him lying on the floor and immediately called the police," he said. "They used a location app on their phones, and that's how they found him. As soon as the app stopped working, we started to suspect something was up."
