The man killed in the Staten Island home invasion was a bodybuilder, a devoted dad
A Staten Island dad was fatally shot by a pair of crooks during a home invasion robbery early Thursday, police said.
The robbers got inside the three-story home on Hinton St. in Arden Heights at about 1:30 a.m.
The victim, identified by neighbors and police sources as Tamer Shaarawy, 38, was shot in the left shoulder during a confrontation with the intruders.
Shaarawy was rushed to Staten Island University South Hospital, where he died. The crooks ran off but not before their images were captured by a neighbor’s surveillance camera. They have not been caught.
“The cops have been in and out of my house all night,” said the neighbor, who asked his name not be named. “Two guys walked up to the house, went in,” he added, describing what his footage shows. “They were there for three to seven minutes. The gun was fired and then they came running out of the house.”
It was not clear if the robbers got away with any of the victim’s belongings.
Shaarawy was a weight-lifting buff who posted videos of his workouts on Facebook.
On Tuesday, he posted a photo of himself and his two young children, beaming for the camera, captioned “ALL I NEED.”
About a dozen of his relatives gathered at a house around the corner, several of them weeping as they sat outside.
“It’s not a good time, we’re not going to give a statement,” said one woman.
Shaarawy’s neighbor said his father owned two successful businesses in Staten Island’s Port Richmond neighborhood and his brothers lived nearby. He was shocked that deadly violence would visit such a quiet block on Staten Island’s typically sleepy South Shore.

ARDEN HEIGHTS, Staten Island (WABC) -- Police are investigating a home invasion on Staten Island that left a 38-year-old man dead.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. on Hinton Street, just off of Woodrow Road, in Arden Heights.
The assailants were wearing masks and dark clothing, police said, and there is no indication the victim knew them.
The gunmen were trying to snatch a chain from the man's neck when one of them fired a round, striking him in the left shoulder.
The two attackers quickly fled the scene.
The victim was taken to Staten Island Hospital and pronounced dead from his injuries.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
This is the first homicide of the year in the 123rd Precinct, where serious crime is rare. What's most concerning to fellow residents is police say the incident was random.
