Following the dispatch of emergency personnel, Kessler was taken to a nearby hospital, where medical professionals heroically battled to save his life. 

Sadly, on November 6, 2023, Kessler passed away from his wounds.

Blazer told that he wasn’t sure if any words were exchanged between Kessler and the suspect before the supposed altercation.

“There was no sense that it would escalate to what happened. Paul and other members of the Jewish community came to show support for Israel,” the Rabbi said.

“He didn’t expect any physical confrontation. He’s 69 years old and should be enjoying retirement, but instead, he lost his life. And what happened to him is happening to other Jewish community members who support Israel.”

Although they have acknowledged that Kessler’s death is being looked into as a homicide, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department has not ruled out the possibility of a hate crime. 

The investigation is still ongoing, and no one has been taken into custody as of yet.
