Democrat-connected synagogue president stabbed to death outside her home: report

A Detroit synagogue president who worked on the re-election campaign of Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel was found stabbed to death in front of the religious leader's own home, according to Saturday reports.

Samantha Woll, who also previously worked for Democratic Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, led the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue since last year.

Police said in a statement that they were investigating a body found stabbed multiple times in the 1300 block of Joliet Place, according to the Detroit Free Press.

“I am shocked, saddened and horrified to learn of Sam’s brutal murder,” Nessel said in a statement, according to the Detroit Free Press. “Sam was as kind a person as I’ve ever known. She was driven by her sincere love of her community, state and country. Sam truly used her faith and activism to create a better place for everyone.”
