An afternoon drizzle didn’t prevent members of the Bangladeshi community, NYPD 66th Precinct brass, and reporters from showing up at the mid-afternoon prayer service on Friday, January 10 on McDonald Avenue just north of the Baitul Jannah Masjid at the corner of Avenue C to honor murdered local landlord Mahiuddin Mahmud.
