Republican Activist Steven Alembik Shoots Wife, Kills Self At Delray Beach BurgerFi
Republican Activist Steven Alembik Shoots Wife, Kills Self At Delray Beach BurgerFiThe man who shot his wife twice then turned the gun on himself in the West Delray Beach BurgerFi parking lot earlier this week is identified by sources as political activist Steven Alembik. Alembik, Monday night, allegedly shot his wife in the back and arm. While she ran into BurgerFi while bleeding profusely, he shot and killed himself in their car in the parking lot.
The Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office, which initially withheld the gunmans name, confirmed Alembiks identity to BocaNewsNow.com Friday afternoon.
Alembik received national attention when he tweeted that Ruth Bader Ginsburg cant die soon enough back in 2018. He also used the N word to describe now-former President Barack Obama. A staunch Republican activist, Alembik was considered to be a major donor to several GOP candidates, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
United States Senator Rick Scott, who at the time of Alembiks tweets was Governor of Florida, donated Alembiks donations to other charities, according to Haaretz which profiled Alembik here. Laura Loomer, the failed Boca Raton Congressional Candidate and extreme right-wing activist remembered Alembik this way on X, formerly known as Twitter: Sadly, those of us who knew Steve understood that he struggled with his mental health at times, which he ultimately succumbed to when he died this week, but he always put on a smile for those around him and never complained.
Police responded en masse to the BurgerFi parking lot near Atlantic Avenue and the Florida Turnpike Monday evening for the report of a gunman. They found a woman identified by sources as Alembiks wife with gunshot wounds to her back and arm. She was rushed to Delray Medical Center where she remains in critical condition. He was found dead in his car.

Nice to know that this smiley guy never complained. Now that he's no longer a menace, I won't either.

Not counting his racist / anti-Jewish outbursts?
Maybe she considers that as 'happy in your work'?
