$30K reward offered for details on alleged anti-Israel arsonist accused of torching 11 NYPD cars
By Steven Vago, NY Post, June 25, 2025:
A $30,000 reward is being offered on the whereabouts of the anti-Israel menace accused of torching nearly a dozen NYPD cars and causing $800,000 in damages in Brooklyn earlier in the month.
Jakhi Lodgson-McCray, 21, who has been arrested a number of times at protests, allegedly set fire to 11 cop cars in a Bushwick parking lot on June 12 — and has not been seen since, cops said.
Numerous law enforcement agencies — NYPD Crime Stoppers, US Marshals and ATF — are offering reward money for the accused firebug’s arrest and conviction, the NYPD announced Wednesday.
ADVERTISEMENTLodgson-McCray also allegedly destroyed a statue, leading to over $1,000 in damage during a protest at Columbia University in September, according to the NYPD.
“We believe, based on his social media, that he’s very active in the protest community, involving the Free Palestine movement,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said after the arson incident near Patrol Borough Brooklyn North headquarters.
He’s believed to have acted alone during his targeted attack.
“We have him on video for about 40 minutes prior to the incident. He is by himself, and, like I said, a substantial video canvass after the fact, where we track him all the way back to Manhattan,” Kenny told reporters.

Lodgson-McCray has not been seen since allegedly setting fire to 11 police vehicles. Kyle Mazza“Several times during his escape, he changes his clothing.”
“He’s wearing a hoodie cinched up so you can’t see his face, and wearing a mask,” he added. “But we do believe that he acted alone, and obviously he targeted this location because it is a police facility.”
Logson-McCray was previously arrested for resisting arrest at an anti-ICE protest last month. He’s also been cuffed at several anti-Israel demonstrations, according to records.
