Poor guy, what son a bitch robs a 91 year old man…

Anyways, was this a robbery gone wrong to something else? Thoughts? Also, does anyone know if this Nicholas guy was a loanshark? He was old but maybe he had money on the street and other people collected.

If I had to bet it was probably Black or Hispanic thugs who saw an easy mark, followed the guy home when he flashed his wad at a store. That area of the Bronx isn’t too far removed from the animals.

Yes, it's a sad loss, but it's the bronx, do not expect hugs nor professionalism ... Sad to say that.

Why not white thugs?

This happened in Pelham Gardens, which is one of the nicer and more affluent sections of the Bronx. I had actually just been on the block over from where this happened the morning after when I read about it. Given the old guy’s surname, Rappa, I had naturally wondered if he had been a connected guy, but I don’t see any reason to assume that was a factor here. I think it’s probably just a robbery that went wrong and/or some sick fuck decided to kill the old guy. Apparently he was mugged in front of his house earlier this year also. As it’s a more affluent area, you will sometimes see criminals roaming around to target people living there. Its the Bronx, of course, and while it’s a beautiful little oasis of an area it is near much higher crime neighborhoods.

I’ve heard that police were searching for suspects who were posing as ConEd workers. If so, there have certainly been other robberies (including violent home invasions) in the Bronx where the perps put on uniforms and posed as utility or delivery workers. Gotta be careful out there, look out for your neighbors as much as you can, especially the elderly, women, and kids.

Incidentally, if you check the current thread on Louis Gigante, you’ll note that Antonio Tolisano lived right around the corner (on Astor) from where this old guy was killed.

Thank you for the clarification!

Why not white thugs?

probably because he intuitively understands probability based on crime stats

Yeah about 90-90+% of the violent crime in NYC is committed by non-Whites.

From the looks of the surveillance photos the perps don’t appear to be black. Maybe Hispanic white. Idk, but regardless of their race, the guys who killed Nicolo Rampa are cowards. Killing a 91 year old man is nearly as bad as killing a toddler. He was completely defenseless

And per neighbors, taking care of his 90+ year old wife. They should rot, the animals (couldn’t care less what color or whatever they happen to be).

Wow… what a tragedy. Whoever killed Rampa will likely get caught, and once they hit Rikers Island, that’s when they’ll get their comeuppance. I doubt that inmates will approve of the perps’ charges. Robbing & killing an old man isn’t gangster at all.

[Pogo The Clown]

Those inmates couldn't care less.

Assuming that this is the actual perp, glad to have this POS off the streets. I look out for my 90+ YO neighbor and the thought of someone doing this to them that is beyond sickening.

Hopefully that’s the guy, piece of shit.
