Leader Jeffries Statement on the Murder of Security Officer Aland Etienne

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement: I am heartbroken by the tragic murder of security officer Aland Etienne, a constituent who lived in Canarsie, in connection with the mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan. Security guards are asked to perform their duties under intense circumstances with limited resources day in and day out. Aland put his life on the line and faithfully showed up to work to protect the employees and visitors at 345 Park Avenue. Our City is forever indebted to him. A proud member of 32BJ SEIU, devoted father of two and beloved son, Aland will be remembered as a kind soul who touched the hearts of all those who had the privilege to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with the Etienne family, the Canarsie community and the brothers and sisters of 32BJ. May he forever rest in peace. ###
