According to reports, the suspect in the stabbing death of a Houston Texas man in a barbershop also injured a male and a female, the owners of the shop. Goldberg was arrested and interrogated in connection with the murder, and was then released. Police in Texas report it was then that he made the decision to flee to Israel, where he has family, to escape prosecution for his alleged crime.
There is no additional information available at this time.
Last year, Shmuel Sheinbein, an American who whose father is an Israeli, fled to Israel after he became a suspect in the murder/dismemberment of a Maryland teenager. His case was heard before the High Court since Israeli law prohibits the extradition of an Israeli citizen to stand trial for a crime outside of Israel.
