76-year-old woman dies, man arrested after couple attacked and robbed in Fells Point

Just an awful outcome to a brazen robbery on Fleet Street.

“The 60-year-old man and 76-year-old woman were assaulted and robbed around 8:20 a.m. Tuesday in the 1700 block of Fleet Street. Police said the couple had just eaten breakfast at Broadway Market and were walking through the neighborhood.

A statement by organizers of Thursday's vigil said the couple has been a part of the Fells Point community for more than 35 years. During that time, "they have become familiar and beloved faces to residents, neighborhood businesses and their employees," the statement said. 

Community members said the couple had long been supportive of restaurants, shops, artists and institutions in Fells Point.”
