Statement from Councilman Isaac Yitzy Schleifer on the Conviction of the Final Perpetrator in the Murder of Efraim Gordon
Baltimore, MD - July 25, 2024 - Today, justice has been served with the first-degree murder conviction of the final perpetrator responsible for the tragic and senseless murder of Efraim Gordon. Efraim was in Baltimore to celebrate a family member’s wedding when his life was violently taken during a robbery.
This conviction provides a measure of closure to Efraim’s family and the community, though it cannot truly erase the pain of such a profound loss. My deepest condolences go out to the Gordon family as they continue to navigate this incredibly difficult time. Ephraim’s memory will forever be a blessing to all who knew him.
I commend the diligent work of our law enforcement officers, homicide detectives, prosecutors, community members, and all those involved in ensuring justice was served. Their dedication to upholding the law and protecting the community is deeply appreciated.
As we reflect on this verdict, we must reaffirm our commitment to addressing the root causes of violence in our city. We need to work together to create a safer, more just Baltimore for all residents and visitors.
Let us honor Efraim’s memory by striving for a community where such tragedies are not only addressed with justice but also prevented through compassion and proactive measures. ... See MoreSee Less

It was a great day in the 5th district for the ribbon cutting ceremony on the new Pimlico Field Park Playground. It was many years in the making, but with collaboration between our office Mayor Brandon M. Scott, Baltimore Recnparks & the community, we all have a new park for the 5th district to enjoy. The best is yet to come for this property! ... See MoreSee Less

We had a great time attending the 25th annual Mt. Washington 4th of July parade today! The vibrant community spirit was truly on display. The parade not only honored our nation's independence but also highlighted the unique charm and camaraderie of our Mt. Washington community. Happy 4th of July, everyone! ... See MoreSee Less

Looks great ! Sorry I missed this. Happy 4th of July !!!
Great ! You got around today !
What a terrible spoiled culture we have where we mimic the sound of bombs when real kids are being bombed by American bombs sold to Israel everyday. Not fun when it's a real explosion dropping a building on your head

This Traffic pattern does NOT work. If you go to the fireworks as I do every year, DON’T park on the South Side (Key Highway/ Fed Hill) of the Harbor. You will get stuck in gridlocked traffic. July 4th and New Year’s traffic is diverted onto (very small) Lee street. This causes gridlock. From Lee street cars need to use S Charles street to get to Conway street. A simple solution is to allow all cars to go straight on Light street for one more block to make the left onto Conway. This will alleviate the gridlock that keeps people stuck in traffic.
Although I enjoy the extra time downtown and enjoy seeing the beautiful harbor, sitting in traffic with kids in the car whose bedtime has passed and are kvetching is not enjoyable.Traffic Modifications and Commercial Vehicle Restrictions in the Downtown Area for July 4th Festivities

I would like to have some type of traffic enforcement at PIMLICO RD. where it meets Willowglen and Green Meadow. The rate of speed used here is insane! Ppl run the stop sign(s) regularly and now with the random parking all over due to ppl going to the synagogue on Green Meadow the area is dangerous to walk my dog. If the police could sit in this area from 7am-10 on any given day ( especially Friday) I’m sure they would write many tickets for speeding and running the stop sign(s). Please help with this concern before a pedestrian gets hurt or a major collision occurs!! Thank you in advance…..
At least your kids are alive as opposed to the 30,000 Palestinian kids that buildings and bombs dropped on them.
Today someone spray-painted swastikas in front of a Jewish home in the Glen neighborhood. This hate has no place in Baltimore or anywhere else. I am calling on Baltimore Police Department to fully investigate this incident and hold those who did this accountable. ... See MoreSee Less

Looks like it's was done by a 3 yr old!
So you get your tits in a tangle over a childish scribble on the footpath, but you're ok with the slaughter of women and children in Palestine? Pathetic.
it is protected under the first amendment, even though I don't agree with it
Recently the same hateful Antisemitic protests were happening right here in Baltimore City in front of a synagogue in my district. Thankfully Baltimore Police Department was prepared and minimized the impact. Protesting any religion is NEVER ok. Thank you Van Jones for speaking up. ... See MoreSee Less
