A Muslim imam and a second man were fatally shot on Saturday while walking home from afternoon prayers at a mosque in the New York borough of Queens, authorities said. But it’s very important to mount a thorough investigation.”Police declined to identify the second man or his relationship with the imam pending notification of his family. Akonjee, 55, was described as a peaceful man who was beloved within Ozone Park’s large Muslim community. “We feel really insecure and unsafe in a moment like this,” Millat Uddin, an Ozone Park resident told CBS New York. “It’s really threatening to us, threatening to our future, threatening to our mobility in our neighborhood, and we’re looking for the justice.”
