NYPD: Bronx Suspect Got Into 89-Year-Old Woman’s Apartment Through Unlocked Door, Robbed Her In Bedroom

written by ErikSchreffler

(credit: NYPD) NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The NYPD is trying to find a man accused of entering an elderly woman’s Bronx apartment and robbing her. It happened near Beck Street and Longwood Avenue at around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, according to police. The suspect allegedly got into the 89-year-old woman’s ground-floor apartment through the back door, which was apparently unlocked, police said. “It has been tough. I keep repeating it in my mind over and over again … I’m not a good sleeper and I was about to start reading and I hadn’t turned my light on yet and I saw someone come by my bedroom door with a flashlight. I thought it was my son,” the victim told CBS2’s Cory James exclusively. But it was not her son, who lives upstairs. When the suspect encountered the woman in her bedroom, he grabbed her arm, threw her on the bed and demanded money, police said. The victim gave him her purse, police added. “I thought I could grab out a $20 (bill) and give it to him, but he took the whole purse. There was $100,” she said. The NYPD released this surveillance video of the suspect: The suspect fled through the back door, leaving the woman recovering from hip and leg surgery with bruises on her leg and arm. Neighbors said they were disturbed by what happened. “It really is so disgusting to hear something like that,” Lydia Santiago said. “There’s no courtesy, no respect for the elders,” Juan Berrios added. “I’m glad he didn’t hurt me more. He bruised me, but he didn’t do anything more. At 89, I could be hurt very badly and I wasn’t,” the victim said. Police believe the suspect is in his 50s and approximately 6 feet tall. The victim admitted that the door to her apartment was unlocked. She said it was a one-time mistake that she will not make again. NYPD investigators want the public to take a good look at the suspect and if you know him you are asked to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Police: Suspect In New York Nurse’s Death Found Holding Another Woman Captive In L.A. Hotel

written by MarielClevenger

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Police say they finally caught up with a man wanted in connection with the death of a nurse in Queens, discovering the suspect on the other side of the country with another woman held captive in a Los Angeles hotel room. Danueal Drayton, 27, of New Haven, Conn., was taken into custody Thursday. The hunt began after 29-year-old nurse Samantha Stewart was found dead inside her bedroom at her family home in Springfield Gardens, Queens, on July 17. Police say Stewart suffered trauma to her head and neck. “A lot of sorrow is in my heart,” her aunt, Ruby Dixon, told CBS2’s Tony Aiello after learning about Drayton’s arrest. “My niece was the best you ever could find in a human being.” (credit: NYPD) Police had been searching for the person responsible for Stewart’s murder and also another incident involving the rape of a 23-year-old woman that happened the month before in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Both investigations led them to the same suspect, when the joint New York/New Jersey Police Task Force caught up with Drayton. “There was a separate woman in a hotel room in California that was being held against her will,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea. “Right after he commit a gruesome murder here and destroy my family, he went to California and just almost did the same thing,” Stewart’s father, Kenneth, said. “Thank God they catch him before he could destroy another family.” When we captured Danuel Drayton in LA for the murder of Queens nurse Samantha Stewart, he had another victim held captive. He's off the streets but may have victimized others via online dating sites. Need help or have info? Call 800-577-TIPS/ sex crimes hotline 212-267-RAPE pic.twitter.com/iif7E9KuyA — Chief Dermot F. Shea (@NYPDDetectives) July 26, 2018 Authorities believe Drayton met both of those women on Tinder and their first meeting was in a public space. They say he also may have used other dating sites to meet potential victims. “The common denominator in these two cases – one being a murder, one being a rape – is dating websites,” said Shea. “So this individual is known to us and it is believed by us that this individual uses dating web sites to meet women and then victimize these women.” Police say Drayton was well known to police. He was arrested in June for allegedly choking an ex-girlfriend at Inwood Park in Nassau County. One July 1, his bail was set at $1,000. On July 5, a judge dropped the bail requirement, over the objection of the district attorney, and Drayton walked free. He also has five prior arrests in his home state of Connecticut, including a strangulation arrest in 2011. “I’m devastated by my loss of my daughter, but hearing this news now it really, really shocks me, throws me over the edge,” said Kenneth Stewart. Police believe there may be more victims out there and are asking for anyone affected or who has information to come forward. “Be careful. If you meet up with someone, tell somebody,” Dixon said. “Tell a family member, tell a friend. You don’t know who these monsters are.” Stewart’s funeral is set for Saturday.

written by ValarieDunlop

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — The widow of Tristan Beaudette — the man killed while camping with the couple’s two young daughters at Malibu State Creek Park — has issued a statement. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my family, friends, and the community at large for the outpouring of love and support over the loss of someone who was beloved to so many. Tristan’s passing has been incredibly difficult for me and my family and we continue to grieve over this senseless loss,” Erica Wu said. “Tristan was a devoted husband and father whose life revolved around our family, our happiness, and his hopes and dreams for our future. We met when we were teenagers, grew up together, married, and had two amazing and beautiful daughters. In everything that he did, Tristan was kind, selfless, and giving, and had a natural ability to connect with just about anyone. We supported each other as we pursued our careers while balancing what truly mattered most: spending time with our girls and living life to the fullest. I may never understand why our time together was cut short, but we had an incredible journey and I am so grateful for every day I had with him.” (credit: the Beaudette family) Detectives are hoping reward money will lead them to a suspect. Officials said they are working some promising leads. They have not offered a motive for the crime . Meanwhile, Wu is still trying to come to grips with her loss. “Tristan rejoiced in sharing his love of the outdoors with the girls and believed that campgrounds were the definition of a sanctuary where people could feel safe and secure. I am so thankful to Supervisor Kuehl, the City of Malibu, and Allergan plc for their contributions to a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect(s), and encourage anyone with knowledge about the events of that early morning on Friday, June 22 to please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at: (323) 890-5500.” Detectives say they have developed valuable information during the course of their investigation and are working closely with investigators from other agencies. Officials are asking the public’s assistance and are asking anyone with information to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), use your smartphone by downloading the “P3 Tips” Mobile APP on Google play or the Apple App Store or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org This crime has placed an emotional strain on the family.

Boy, 14, Arrested After Medal Of Honor Veteran’s Memorial Vandalized

written by Ernie43Aiyzl

RONKONKOMA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – A 14-year-old boy has been arrested for smashing a memorial in Lake Ronkonkoma dedicated to a fallen Navy SEAL from Long Island . Police investigators say the youth was arrested at his Ronkonkoma home at 3 a.m. on Friday. He was charged with second-degree criminal mischief and was scheduled to be arraigned in family court on a later date. The stone centerpiece in Lt. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Park in Lake Ronkonkoma was vandalized on Thursday, discovered broken into pieces. “I lost Mike, and then when I saw that I felt I lost him again,” and Maureen Murphy, the soldier’s mother. Murphy, of Patchogue, became the first American awarded the Medal of Honor during the Afghanistan War, when he was killed along with two fellow Navy SEALs during an ambush in 2005. He was 29. Lt. Murphy’s memorial was a labor of love built at Lake Ronkonkoma by local volunteers who sought to mark their native son’s bravery, courage and selflessness, reports CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan. SCPD is investigating vandalism @ Lt. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Park in Lake Ronkonkoma. @SCPD4thPrecinct is assigned to the case. Anyone w/information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. A fast cash reward of $2,500 for info leading to arrest. #navyseal #murph pic.twitter.com/v3vMc6eLDC — Suffolk County PD (@SCPDHq) July 20, 2018 Community leaders took to social media asking for leads after the vandalism was discovered. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he was “appalled and disgusted” by the vandalism. Cuomo says the state will pay to replace the memorial. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone expressed compassion toward the unnamed youth police are saying was responsible. “A minor probably didn’t realize the significance of what he was doing,” he said. “I hope this is a teachable moment.” “Michael would have taken this kid under his wing to teach him what a war hero is,” said Vicent Calvosa of the NAvy SEAL Museum. In addition to memorials around Suffolk County, a 510-foot destroyer is named after Murphy and the movie “Lone Survivor” outlining the the final hours of his life in Afghanistan. “Michael has become more a symbol — he’s our son, but he’s more a symbol — of our military men and women, and our first responders — fire, police — that are out there every day protecting us,” his father, Daniel Murphy, said.
