POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. –
Police have arrested a man they say killed a woman nearly 80 years his senior inside her Hudson Valley home.
Poughkeepsie City Police say 20-year-old Javon Tyrek Rogers was arraigned Saturday, charged with burglary and first-degree murder in the death of 99-year-old Fannie Gumbinger. They say he was arrested at 11 p.m. Friday night.
Gumbinger's body was found Wednesday morning after a caretaker suspected something was wrong inside the woman's house and called police. An autopsy Thursday determined that Gumbinger died from multiple injuries inside the home she'd lived alone in since her husband's death in 2007.

Wonder if this'll become another media circus because it's a race case?

Its tragic that an old women was killed by a thug, race need not be the issue, criminals often fall with in certain socio-economic bracket.edit on 1-9-2013 by benrl because: (no reason given)

I said look at the age buddy.. the race thing is not something that I brought up, members here on ATS did.
I would be more concerned about the age of the victim as I cannot understand how healthy virulent young men can target small ladies and feel as though that's warranted behavior and homicide.
Get over the black card folks.. someone must be laughing..edit on 1-9-2013 by tony9802 because: (no reason given)

Than why emphasis it in your title, divisive much? The media article didn't even do that, but you did.
I see here a crime caused by the degradation of Education among lower income education brackets, the proliferation of the "ghetto" mentality.
The same that can be found from inner city to trailer park despite race.

The MSM will almost never report black on white violence because it is either too politically incorrect, they are too fearful of the race issue or both. If they do report it's generally just "teens or juveniles" and they never point out that it was racial.
Of course if it's a white person defending themselves against blacks then all whites are racist, again.
