NYC has never, ever, been a place where you could go to the store and leave your front door unlocked.
You're flat out wrong..I grew up (not that long ago) in a neighborhood where we literally left our doors unlocked and I could roam the streets as a kid at all hours of the night without issue. There were a ton of neighborhoods like this in NYC even during the the murder heydays in the early 90s.
As I've said before the problem isn't crime, the problem is random crime or the perception thereof.
I don't know where you grew up but according to your statement I can narrow it down fairly accurately. You grew up in a place with plenty of crime so.you think that's the norm.
This seems like a targeted hit. Nothing was stolen or taken from the victim. I wonder if he owed money to the wrong people.
It's a tight knit community where one can borrow money free of interest (interest is illegal in Islam).
It seems like a carjacking gone wrong. If it was a hit, it would've been known by now. The perps may not have intended to kill him but I'd bet it was some teen that got scared of him maybe fighting back and squeezed the trigger instinctually. People in the hood don't exactly practice trigger discipline.

Organized crime still exists in all cultures and religions. Although the man is described as an airport worker who just pushed wheelchairs consider another angle. He worked in an AIRPORT - with sensitive security access to certain areas. Now, airports are known SMUGGLING VENUES for contraband. He could have been involved in something shady. Even if he was not directly involved then his access card and id could have been enough to allow others access to sensitive areas.
Perhaps I am grasping at straws here but this angle should be examined.

The guy pushed wheelchairs (they're basically at the bottom rung of airport workers ). If he had access to loading baggage or security, I could see your inference being plausible.

It could be a ghetto thug getting gang initiation by killing an innocent person. Or a ghetto thug with blood lust or perhaps racism.
A young Indian man was shot and killed in Chicago just chilling out on the porch during a house party last year. Was he a mob informant also?
The point is the targeted hit angle is a stretch. Based on the gun violence of the location for both murders (Chitown, east NY), most likely it was ghetto thugs.

A ton of neighborhoods? Overexaggeration. Aside from the anomaly which would be maybe South Shore Staten Island back then, and you can't even say them anymore due to the opiod addictions. Then there's the physical isolation of a few areas. Otherwise, crime has always been an aspect of living in this city for most people.

You live in the hood so you think crime.is everywhere. You think everybody acts like your compatriots in the hood.
