Here's more via the GoFundMe account:
On the morning of March 1st, our friend Anton "Munch" Albert was killed in a shocking and callous act of violence. Contrary to some media reports, he was not an employee of ours, but he was a very much admired and loved member of our community. His gentle and warm nature made him many friends in Tom & Jerry's, and he will be greatly missed by our team and those who, like Munch did, call T&J's a home from home.He leaves behind a loving family, including his 9-year-old daughter, who will need all the support they can get during this untimely period of grief. The proceeds from this fundraiser will directly go to Munch's family to cover the costs of his funeral and to support his daughter.

Albert reportedly lived on Staten Island. He was 39.
Little information has been made public about the shooting, including a description or photo of the alleged shooter who, according to multiple published reports, fired several times into the bar, striking Albert.
According to the Post: "Witnesses told cops there was no interaction between the two men before the shooting, but police were unsure if the victim was targeted, cops said."

The local news media got so much of this story wrong writing that the victim was a part time bouncer working at the bar, and he had to throw a patron out of the bar for being drunk and disruptive and shortly after the person came back with a gun and shot and killed the bouncer firing though the front window. I hope the police catch the person who did this.
Life is so fragile. RIP sir.
