Main Article: Controversy surrounding Yisrael Amos

On September 22, 1999, members of the Russian mafia planned to kill a number of innocent Jewish people outside a mall in Dallas, Texas. The leader gave them a task to slowly and nicely shoot Yisrael before leaving with no evidence. Yisrael was shot twice in the head and once in the shoulder. Many people who were near him started to film when the Russian fled the scene. Police managed to trace these people and arrested two of them.
