Samuel Sheinbein (25 July 1980 – 23 February 2014) was an American-Israeli convicted murderer.
On 16 September 1997, Sheinbein, a 17-year-old senior at John F.
Kennedy High School in Montgomery County, Maryland, and Aaron Benjamin Needle, a former classmate, killed Alfredo "Freddy" Enrique Tello, Jr.
They subsequently dismembered and burned the corpse in Aspen Hill, Maryland.
Sheinbein fled to Israel, where he was eligible for citizenship; Israeli law at the time prohibited extradition of citizens. The case strained U.S.–Israeli relations and prompted an overhaul of Israeli extradition policy, which now requires a defendant seeking to avoid extradition to also demonstrate a "residential connection" to Israel.
The Washington Post wrote that it became "a sensational legal tug of war involving Congress, the State and Justice departments and the upper echelons of Israel's political and judicial establishments".Sheinbein was sentenced to 24 years in prison by an Israeli court in 1999.
In 2014, he was killed in a shootout with Israeli police special forces in Rimonim Prison after he shot and wounded six officials and another prisoner with a gun that had been smuggled into the prison.
