Masked Gunmen Rob Brooklyn Bishop in Middle of Livestreamed Church Service

NEW YORK (77WABC) — A flashy Brooklyn bishop was robbed in the middle of his live-streamed service Sunday when by armed suspects who fled with $400,000 in jewelry.

Police say Bishop Lamor Whitehead was in the middle of his sermon at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie around 11:14 a.m. when three masked gunmen burst in. Whitehead, dressed in a maroon suit with a gold-trimmed collar and sleeve cuffs, was wearing a long gold chain and a large ring on each finger at the time.

According to police, the men took $400,000 worth of jewelry from Whitehead, his wife and possibly churchgoers.

Whitehead last made news two months ago attempting to negotiate the surrender of 25-year-old Andrew Abdullah in the fatal shooting of Goldman Sachs employee Daniel Enriquez aboard a Manhattan-bound Q train.
