Abreu is charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and six gun charges for
allegedly shooting four people — including Saeidi — during a bloody rampage in Brooklyn and Queens on Today’s Iconic Moment in NY Sports:

Derby
Police and sources said he used a ghost gun during his rampage, which lasted about 12 minutes before
he was arrested in Queens.
Saeidi was the only fatality, although a 44-year-old man Abreu allegedly shot in the face was clinging to
life Monday, police said.
Mayor Eric Adams called Saeidi a “pillar of our city” after his funeral Monday.
Gregory P. Mango
Adams said his administration was focusing on ghost guns, illegal scooters and mental illness – all of which contributed
to Saeidi’s death.

The elderly man was walking down Jamaica Avenue- – on his way to pray at his local mosque — when
Abreu allegedly rode up on a scooter, pulled a handgun and shot him in the back.
Saeidi’s oldest son, Ahmed Alsaedi, called for an end to gun violence at a press conference held just
before his father’s funeral.
“We need justice for my father, and also for the other victims who got shot,” Alsaedi said, adding that his
dad had 30 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren.
Saeidi was heading to his mosque to pray when Abreu allegedly shot him.
“This is a very bad time for us. The families are devastated.”

Abdul Mubarez, president of Yemeni American Merchant Association, echoed his demand.
“We call on everyone to stop and to take away the guns from our community,” Mubarez said. “From every
community – I’m not saying one area. But every community.”

Why would the family even allow Adams at the funeral??? He's the problem enabling these
hugs, he's not the solution. Him and his light on crime cronies are why this happened to this
man. Inexcusable

Sorry Adams, he is not the “pillar of the city”…. He is just another innocent taxpaying citizen of
that was needlessly killed under your watch and these democrat policies

Cutting crime??? When? When will you discuss who is committing these crimes and what can
e done about it. Democrats will never change. Like NYC and LA- any democrat run city is a
ridden drug addled cesspool. Thanks for voting for these useless morons.

The only hope is to get white people back to the city, and that ain't gonna happen. They can't
out fast enough. White flight is accelerating. Detroit is the new nyc model.

Mayor Adams can insist all he wants that his administration is focused on crime…
It’s the results that matter & crime is up, quality of life continues to decline
It’s the results that matter & clearly they need a new strategy… maybe quit focusing & do
