Brooklyn landlord Menachem Stark was kidnapped and murder leaving his Williamsburg office this past January.
After encouraged by his pastor father not to lie to police, the 26 year old Brooklyn man confessed to kidnapping and murdering Jewish landlord Menachem Stark, according to authorities. The most recent development happened in court last Friday, July 11th, when Kendal Felix pled not guilty to the charges.

Felix was originally taken into custody back in April, and initially refused to talk to police, providing an alibi that claimed he was with his girlfriend at the time of the abduction. According to court documents, Felix changed his story upon being asked if lying is what his father would want him to do. It’s been reported that Felix told detectives that “Erskine”, his boss, told Felix that he would get a cut of the money owed to “Erskine” by Stark if he helped recover it. The men then staked out Stark’s office in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

Police documents state, “Erskine told [Felix] that when Max comes out that he should distract him . . . When Max came out of his office [Felix] said he got out of the van and called to Max. At that point, Erskine came out from the other side of the van and rushed up to Max. Kendal claimed to be a weakling so he didn’t really get involved with scuffling with Max as Erskine was.” After Stark was forced into the van by the men, the papers go on to say, “Erskine was directing [Felix] where to drive as he was trying to tie up and tape up Max.”

Felix then drove the van to the home of a man named “Irvine”, who entered the van and immediately inquired if the man tied up was dead. Court papers report that Felix responded to the question: “I said, ‘He’s breathing,’ but when Irvine checked he said, ‘The dude is dead!’ ”

The trio then headed with soda bottles full of gasoline, to Long Island to dump and burn the body. Stark’s charred body was later found in a trash bin. The abduction occurred during a snowstorm on January 2nd.

Felix was arrested in April, charged with murder and kidnapping. No one else has been arrested in regarding Stark’s death.
