Philadelphia police are seeking two suspects in a 2023 robbery that recently claimed a life. Officers announced a $20,000 reward on Friday for information leading to the arrest of the two men.
The incident occurred on Jan. 2, 2023, at approximately 4:18 p.m. on North Broad Street. Two men approached a 76-year-old man and began verbally antagonizing him, according to officials. Surveillance video captured one suspect punching the victim in the face. The blow knocked him to the ground, and his head struck the pavement. The same suspect then searched the victim's pockets and took his wallet.
The victim was hospitalized following the attack. He remained in care until June 15, 2026, when he died from the head injury sustained in the incident. Police described both suspects as men in their late teens to early 20s. One wore a baseball cap, a dark hooded jacket, dark pants, a dark backpack, and multicolored sneakers. The other wore a knit hat, a dark jacket, dark pants, and multicolored sneakers.
Witnesses last saw the pair walking on Broad Street toward the Arch Street subway station. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Philadelphia Police Department's Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334.
