The alleged murder's name is Levi Aron. He is 35 years old and lives at 549 EAST 2ND ST in Brooklyn.
A Brooklyn source close to the situation reports that the arrested man is ultra-Orthodox. .
35-year-old Levi Aron, led police to parts of the missing boy's body in his house in the fridge.. The actual body was stuffed in a red suitcase and hidden in a Dumpster outside an auto repair shop about two miles away, sources said.
Cops said Aron, who works at the Empire Supply hardware store on McDonald Avenue , Kensington, allegedly suffocated the boy before chopping him up. Police said they also found three knives in a butcher block inside Aron’s apartment.
Co-worker said Aron is divorced with no kids and acted completely normal at work yesterday.
“I can’t believe this,” he said. “He was a strange guy, but he was here yesterday and he was fine after killing this little boy.”
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the suspect Levi Aron told detectives that after he picked the boy up in his car and took him to his apartment, he later “panicked” after hearing about the missing person reports, which is why he killed him.
Some of the boy’s remains were found in Aron’s refrigerator, Kelly said.
“This was a horrendous crime,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said at a briefing Wednesday on the case.
Charges were pending, and information about an attorney for Aron, who turned 35 on Wednesday, was not immediately available.
Police got a tip about Aron based on surveillance video released late Tuesday night, and tracked him at his home in Kensington. Kelly acknowledged publicly the Shomrim Patrol for providing a license plate number that lead the to Levi.
When detectives arrived at Aron’s apartment, the door was open, Kelly said. They entered and asked where the boy was, and Aron nodded toward the kitchen, where police found carving knives covered with blood, along with human remains, in the refrigerator.
He then reportedly directed police to an area about 2 and a half miles away, near 20th Street and Fourth Avenue, where the rest of the boy’s remains were found in a black plastic bag inside a red suitcase that had been tossed in a Dumpster.
Aron lives in the third floor of his parents’ house on Avenue C. His parents live on the ground floor and another tenant lives on the second floor of the building.
Kelly said Aron lived in Memphis, Tenn. and moved back to Brooklyn two years ago. He said Aron has one summonses for public urination that he got last year.
“We have no record of this man being reported [as a pedophile],” said Kelly.
Cops said they do not know whether the boy was molested before being killed.
Investigators will be contacting authorities in Tennessee to piece together the details of his life, Kelly said.

of course the guy is not frum.
he might look frum, act frum on the outside. but he is NOT.
may hashem comfort the parents and family and all of us among the mourners of zion.
details to follow?
Don't embarass his family further. Please remove that. He is pure evil, but they will suffer a lot in the next few weeks. They did not do this.

today,
is so sad a day,
evil lurking,
found an easy prey,
in an innocent child,
lost on his way,
and just brutally took,
his life away.
oh how can you take?
a child from his mother
how can you
all his dreams smother
won't his eyes
haunt you forever
will his cry in your ears
silence ever?
who can understand a parents pain
that will forever remain
only hashem the greatest rachem
can be menachem
'Shomrim' seem to be taking credit for helping find the murderer but let's not forget that no one knows this murder better than the murderer himself and the murderer himself admitted that the reason he killed the boy was because Shomrim made him panic.
Shomrim made him panic and that's why he killed the boy. Otherwise he would have let him go.
I'm not saying that Shomrim is the only one responsible for causing this murder, but it's well known in police investigations that tipping off a potential kidnapper can in it's self result in prompting him to murder - something he otherwise would not have done.
We all know that there are plenty of child molesters in the frum community and what's worse is that they are protected by our leaders who are too ashamed to admit it and do something about it. At the same time, there is no evidence yet to prove that this murders initial intent was only molestation, - wait for the news in the coming days - but it doesn't take rocket scientists to figure out why he took the boy to his Attic apartment (it wasn't to serve him supper).
99.99% of all child molesters don't murder their victims as long as they are not caused to panic.
How can you even suggest that Shomrim is responsible, or even partly so, for this little boy's murder?! No one made Aron panic. He made himself panic. He had to know that searchers were looking for the boy. Any idiot knows that if a child is missing long enough (which isn't very long at all), people are going to go out looking for him/her. All this guy had to do was to call the police and say he found the child. He could've made up a good story, of how he was trying to help him find his way home. Sure, maybe in the end he wouldn't have been believed, and maybe he would've been charged with false imprisonment or something, but he would've been in a whole lot less trouble than he is now, not to mention that little Leiby would still be alive.
The entire blame for this murder belongs on the murderer, not on Shomrim or the parents or anyone else.
100% right. I guess in such issues you need police professional guidance but only a murderer is to blame
btw the guy is frum
My heat aches for the parents. It's bad enough that their child was murdered, but then to know that he was butchered like a piece of meat...His poor little body was desecrated and thrown out like garbage. The body his parents tended and cared for so lovingly. At least the scumbag waited till after the trash trucks had emptied the Dumpster, or police would be scouring landfills to find little Leiby. I've read some posts elsewhere in which people speculate as to what penalty the murderer should get, at the hands of humans, including his fellow inmates, when he is incarcerated. I say let G*d decide on the penalty. It will be nothing but just. I'd sure hate to be this guy.
How can G*d comfort these parents? I don't know, but I pray He will.
I am curious as to what you define a frum. To me someone frum is someone who follows the Torah, murdering someone is not frum.
Kill this mother fuck now, Levi Aron is a wild animal a vicious criminal kill him now, why waste money on a trial and keep him in jail for life? whats the point? This animal addmited to cutting up of this young child, oh my god oh my god
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS STUPID FUCKING BASTARD????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/ MAY LEIBY KLETZY REST IN PIECE WITH HASHEM AND THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN BARUCH DAYAN HAMEMET HASHEM YENAKOM ET DAMO
i agree with what some of the previous people here said: some jews think theyre really good jews because they keep kosher etc. while at the same time dont behave morally. The main core element of judaism is treating others the way one wants to be treated, treating others with respect, loving humankind, etc. And killing somebody is no lesser of a sin than breaking Shabbat. These Jews think that religious observance is the key to a successful Jew, whereas they neglect the fundamental humanistic principles of Judaism. I think that it is entirely incorrent to think in this manner.
If you know the right people (which I do), you would know that Levy Aron Yemach Shemo was actually previously caught up in MULTIPLE child molesting cases... But this info isn't public, or even on his records because our community refuses to acknowledge that there are, in fact pedofiles in our midst. OPEN YOUR EYES!
If he goes around with a yarmulke, doesn't use electricity on shabbos, only eats food under hashgacha, then he's frum. If he's part of the kehilla, then he's frum. He's not a good person, but he's frum.
Lashon hara is compared to murder, frum people are the worst when it comes to lashon hara (some)
Being frum does not make you a good person. Mitvos can help a person to reach moral perfection, but a scumbag is a scumbag, doesn't matter how they dress.
monster Butcher of Brooklyn aka Levi Aron is a sick fuck
Just take Levi Aron and put a .45 round through his head. Another evil fuck removed
