Police are inching closer to the persons suspected of robbing an elderly couple’s Bed-Stuy home, leaving 91-year-old, Waldiman Thompson dead and his 100-year-old wife, Ethlin injured.
NYPD have officially released a photo of a man caught on surveillance footage walking away from the scene carrying a locked box. The man seen in a black t-shirt, blue jeans and a backpack, is wanted for questioning by the police.
Authorities say two men followed Ethlin into her ground-floor apartment just before 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 11 and tied her and her husband before robbing the apartment. Waldiman went into sudden cardiac arrest but Echlin was able to untie herself and call for help. Waldiman was later pronounced dead at Interfaith Medical Center, officials said.
The suspects reportedly got away with $5,000.
The NYPD is offering $10,000 to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest and convictions of the men involved in the robbery. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has also offered $1,000 saying in a statement “this is a time for mournful prayer, and a time for purposeful action.”
