"The fact that Mr. Gordon traveled in town from Israel for a joyous family wedding only to have his life violently cut short is soul-crushing and intolerable," Mosby said. "What should have been a celebratory milestone left his family reeling in unspeakable grief. I commend ASA Maylor and BPD detectives for their decisive and swift investigation to identify and apprehend those responsible for this tragic loss of life. I hope today’s justice for Mr. Gordon brings his family one step closer towards healing.”
