Three individuals face multiple hate crime charges for orchestrating a series of attacks targeting Brooklyn Museum executives at their private homes over the summer.

Taylor Pelton, 28, of Astoria, Queens; Samuel Seligson, 32, of Brooklyn; and Gabriel Schubiner, 36, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, were named this week in a 25-count indictment. The charges stem from a series of coordinated attacks that occurred in the early morning hours of June 12 across Brooklyn and Manhattan.

The vandalism campaign began in Brooklyn’s Boerum Hill neighborhood, where surveillance footage captured the defendants and three yet-to-be-apprehended individuals carrying black bags to the home of a museum board member. According to prosecutors, the defendants specifically targeted museum officials with Jewish-sounding names, though only Executive Director Anne Pasternak was actually Jewish.

Schubiner attempted to conceal their identities by painting over security cameras before defacing the property with red paint, writing “Brooklyn Museum, blood on your hands.” The attackers also left behind banners featuring inverted red triangles – a symbol used by Hamas in propaganda videos to mark Israeli targets.

The group then moved to Pasternak’s residence, where they repeated their pattern of covering security cameras before vandalizing the apartment building’s entrance. There, they left messages labeling Pasternak a ‘White Supremacist Zionist’ and accused her of funding genocide.

The final target was the Manhattan residence of Barbara Vogelstein in Lenox Hill, where surveillance footage captured Schubiner and others spray-painting the building with similar threatening antisemitic imagery.

“Acts of vandalism that target individuals in their own homes are a deeply disturbing violation meant to intimidate, terrorize, and instill fear,” District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement.

“These defendants allegedly targeted museum board members with threats and antisemitic graffiti based on their perceived heritage. These actions are not protests; they are hate crimes, and we are deeply committed to holding accountable anyone who uses such unlawful tactics in Brooklyn.”

A paint-covered fingerprint belonging to Schubiner was discovered on a stencil at the scene, which led to the arrests. Schubiner has been arraigned and released without bail, while Seligson and Pelton are scheduled for arraignment next week.
