Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a masked suspect accused of robbing two women at gunpoint Sunday night.
According to Boston Police, a suspect followed two women, a grandmother and her 65-year-old cousin, as they walked at the intersection of Dudley and Clarence Street just before 8:30 p.m.
The suspect quickly approaches and allegedly pulls out a gun, placing it at Margarida Fuldago’s head.
Surveillance video from a nearby business shows the terrifying encounter.
“So we walked by and he put his hand on my shoulder and said, give me the chain,” Fuldago said. “When he put his hand on my shoulder, I looked back and he said to me, ‘Give me the chain,’ but he said it in Spanish.”
And that made Fuldago scream.
“So I screamed and he showed me the gun,” she said.
He snatched her gold necklace, which she says was worth a thousand dollars, and was a gift from her son, who passed away in 2006.
He then demanded her cousin’s gold necklace, also worth a thousand dollars, putting the gun to her forehead. He grabbed it too and seconds later ran back the way he came and entered the next parking lot.
But in his rush to get away, he left something behind. It was a pendant from Fuldago’s necklace that fell to the floor.
“It was a face of Jesus, small, but they found that one.”
That was the good news in all of this and that none of the ladies were hurt. They hope someone recognizes the man who robbed them.
Authorities say the suspect is a 5′3″-5′4″ Hispanic male of unknown age who was wearing a black sweatshirt with the hood up, black pants and a black face covering.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call District B-2 detectives at (617) 343-4275.
