Statement from Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez on the death of Steven Sotloff

(Miami, September 2, 2014) -- Today we mourn the death of Miami native son, Steven Sotloff, at the hands of the brutal and evil ISIS terrorists.  Our deepest condolences go out to his parents and his entire family.  The cruelty shown to Steven is in stark contrast to the courage and bravery he displayed both as a journalist and an American.  Our hearts are with the Sotloff family at this time of grief, and we pray for an end to this terrorist violence.”
