Cops nabbed a suspect in Philadelphia who robbed a 99-year-old Manhattan landlord<\/a>\u00a0who died from a stroke following the gunpoint stickup, police sources said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The suspect, who has not yet been identified or charged by the NYPD, was picked up on Sept. 27 and is currently awaiting extradition back to New York City to face criminal charges in the Sept. 22 incident, in which he allegedly robbed Jose Antonio Tur<\/a> at gunpoint of $20,000 at the Washington Heights apartment building Tur managed for decades.<\/p>\n

Following the harrowing attack, Tur later suffered a stroke and then died on Oct. 8.<\/p>\n

Jose Tur, 31, the victim\u2019s grandson, who worked with him, said detectives told him that they had a person of interest in custody, though he expressed concern about how the suspect would be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

Front page of the New York Daily News for Sept. 26, 2025: Beloved Washington Heights landlord suffers stroke day after being robbed. Jose Antonio Tur is trying to recover from a stroke he suffered Tuesday, a day after he was robbed by suspect caught on video (inset) outside his Washington Heights building.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just disgust with how things have gotten where there is no respect,\u201d the younger Tur said. \u201cThere is no consequence for wrongdoing. I don\u2019t feel much relief when they caught the guy. Now I have to worry and see where the case goes and how the judge is going to treat it.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the day of the holdup, the nonagenarian landlord received two phone calls from someone asking him in Spanish to meet around 10 a.m. at a side entrance of the victim\u2019s 30-unit building on W. 187th St. near Audubon Ave. to receive a package for one of the tenants, police said.<\/p>\n

When Tur went to the entrance, he was met by a gunman sporting a ski mask and hoodie. The robber pushed his way into the building and a struggle ensued, with the gunman pressing a firearm against Tur\u2019s throat, police said.<\/p>\n

Surveillance video reviewed by The News shows Tur walking ahead of the armed suspect, who is holding a gun to the building owner\u2019s back. The crook forced Tur into his basement office, where he stole the cash before running off, police said.<\/p>\n

Medics took Tur to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia. He had two broken fingers and a cut on his hand requiring stitches from struggling with the gunman.<\/p>\n

The elderly Tur was next in hospice care after battling a stroke that left him in the ICU with the left side of his face paralyzed and struggling to speak.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the beginning, when he was in ICU from the 24th to 1st, his speech was slurred, you couldn\u2019t understand him,\u201d his grandson said. \u201cHe can process based on you looking him in the eye and him moving his hands, but you couldn\u2019t comprehend what he was saying. After he got out of normal care and into hospice, he was really gone from there for the most part.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cops nabbed a suspect in Philadelphia who robbed a 99-year-old Manhattan landlord\u00a0who died from a stroke following the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":303773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,2451,3059,5295,1370,728,5249,405,403,5294,50,5293,1448,2830,1311,5321,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-303772","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-city","10":"tag-county","11":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","12":"tag-latest-headlines","13":"tag-local-news","14":"tag-manhattan","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-city","17":"tag-new-york-county","18":"tag-news","19":"tag-nyc-crime","20":"tag-pa","21":"tag-pennsylvania","22":"tag-philadelphia","23":"tag-sub-county-region","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-united-states-of-america","26":"tag-unitedstates","27":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115374915395211784","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/303773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
