The Kase of the Kosher Killer.

Homicide in Monsey

MONSEY — A man died after he was found wounded last night in the back of a kosher pizzeria. The man was either slashed or stabbed, Ramapo police Detective Lt. Brad Weidel said last night.

Police were called about 9 p.m. and were told that a man inside Chai Pizza & Falafel restaurant had a head wound and was unresponsive and not breathing.

I've actually eaten there before. Very orthodox family oriented place. The article doesn't say whether the murder took place inside the pizzeria or if this guy just crawled in there, looking for help. I assume the latter....

Update - I was wrong. The murder did take place inside the pizzeria and was due to an argument among the kitchen help.

Ordonez and Chicaiza were working together at Chai Pizza on Route 59 when Chicaiza was stabbed once through the upper left side of his chest with a 4-inch steak knife, police said.

Chicaiza stumbled from a small storage area, bleeding, and collapsed in the restaurant's back dining area in front of patrons just before 8:48 p.m., police said. He died less than an hour later at Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern.
