A Long Island mortgage lawyer who recently began making high-interest loans was shot and killed yesterday in a restaurant parking lot.
The 44-year-old James DiMartino, who practiced in Holbrook, N.Y., was shot in the head “in broad daylight,” the New York Post reports.
DiMartino’s longtime friend, James Donovan, told the Post he doesn’t think the shooting was random. "I think he expanded [business] in the wrong direction," he said.
Donovan said DiMartino recently began making high-interest loans to people unable to get traditional loans. The lawyer was found shot next to his Lexus sport utility vehicle, Newsday reports.
