Prominent New York City Bishop Lamor Miller-Whitehead was robbed during a live-streamed church service on Sunday, and police say more than $1 million of his jewelry was stolen.
Whitehead announced on Monday morning that he was offering a reward of up to $50,000 cash for the arrest of the armed men.
The bishop recalled the events in a video posted on Facebook, in which he described how one of the suspects"put the gun to my back" and"had the gun in my 8-month-old’s face." Whitehead went on to describe how he knew the suspects"were sent," and the gunman who robbed him"ripped my collar off just to get to my jewelry."
Whitehead noted his belief that the robbery could have been spurred in part by"bad press" in the aftermath of his decision to help Andrew Abdullah, 25. Abdullah was arrested in connection with the death of Daniel Enriquez, a 48-year-old Goldman Sachs employee.
