Netflix Star Jade Shenker Questions Police Investigation Into Father Marc's Death
Netflix reality star Jade Shenker from 'Owning Manhattan' says she doesn't trust police findings about her father Marc Shenker's death. She told TMZ she's not convinced investigators are on the right track with their preliminary conclusions.
Jade Shenker, who stars in Netflix's real estate reality show 'Owning Manhattan,' is publicly challenging police conclusions about her father's death. She told TMZ that authorities' preliminary findings don't add up in her mind.
Marc Shenker was a major East Village landlord who took over his grandfather Sol's property business. He bought seven buildings in a row between Avenue A and B, specifically to help struggling artists, musicians and theater performers. Marc often gave performers free rent so they could pursue their dreams without giving up.
Jade now works as a real estate agent for SERHANT, continuing her family's property legacy. She's been campaigning to have a New York City street named after her father to honor his work providing affordable housing to artists.
The Netflix show follows Jade and other agents as they navigate Manhattan's luxury real estate market. Despite her family's real estate background, she faces criticism from colleagues who question whether she's earned her position on the team.
This case highlights how families sometimes clash with official investigations when they lose loved ones. It also brings attention to Marc Shenker, who provided affordable housing to struggling artists in New York's East Village for decades.
Jade may continue speaking out about the investigation or potentially seek independent review of her father's case.
