Relative Identified as Leader in Shocking, Recorded Killing of NYC Laundry Shop Owner for $30,000 Necklace
Cybersecdn- In a shocking revelation, prosecutors have identified the cousin of a Brooklyn laundromat owner as the mastermind behind his brutal murder over a $30,000 gold necklace. The victim, Money Perkins, was fatally shot inside his East Flatbush laundromat during a robbery orchestrated by his cousin and four other assailants.
According to authorities, Ronnie Butler, the victim’s cousin, planned the robbery in collaboration with Louis Mercado and recruited additional individuals to carry out the attack. The motive behind the robbery stemmed from a longstanding feud between Perkins and Butler, which intensified following the opening of Perkins’ business, Money P. Clean.
Surveillance footage captured the harrowing moment of the robbery, showing Perkins being ambushed by the armed assailants inside his laundromat. Despite his attempts to resist, Perkins was overpowered, and the assailants proceeded to shoot him multiple times, resulting in his tragic death.
The investigation revealed that Butler forcibly removed the victim’s gold necklace after fatally shooting him, which he later sold for profit. The perpetrators, including Butler and his accomplices, now face multiple charges, including murder, robbery, and conspiracy.
The heinous nature of the crime has sparked outrage and disbelief within the community, highlighting the devastating impact of senseless violence on innocent lives. In the wake of the incident, local authorities have intensified efforts to combat robbery-related crimes, particularly those involving deadly weapons.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez has emphasized the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions and seeking justice for the victim and his family. Additionally, community leaders have called for increased awareness and support to address underlying issues contributing to such crimes, including poverty, unemployment, and access to firearms.
As legal proceedings continue, the case serves as a sobering reminder of the need for collaborative efforts to promote safety and security within neighborhoods. Efforts to enhance community policing, foster trust between law enforcement and residents, and address socioeconomic disparities are crucial in preventing similar tragedies in the future.
