An 80-year-old woman who was mugged last weekend in Queens has died from her injuries — but not before identifying her attacker, police say.
Police say Celica Londono of 76th Street, Queens, was walking with her 92-year-old sister-in-law around 4:40 p.m. on 76th Street near 35th Avenue when a man identified as 32-year-old Jordan Vecchio cut her purse straps and shoved her to the ground.
Londono suffered injuries to her abdomen, arm and face. Her sister-in-law was not injured, police say.
EMS transported Londono to Elmhurst General Hospital where she died from her injuries on Wednesday.

The illegals are at it again! Queens....vibrant. ....diverse....full of walking trash!
Wasn't there a rape in that area about a week or two ago?
This is going to spoil it for those who want to make that area and all of Queens into a tourist destination.
Also, this will just be overlooked because of the misinformed boasts of Bratton and Blazzie that major crime is on the supposed downslide, but since the poor woman is dead it can't be dismissed as a petty statistic now.
For those not in the know, murders and rapes are up. And most of the crime are by parks.
Going by the name.....Looks like a home grown druggie. This is why I favor trial and execution all large scale dealers of hard drugs/ You sell poison you die. Pretty simple to me.
That's pretty good,you can tell if a person is a " druggie" just by their name. There has always been people who are desperate and looking for an easy prey.
I'm sure he'll cop a plea deal and be out in 2 years...
Hope you don't run into him then...
Instead of killing the drug dealers, why not punish the actual muggers and murderers?
My condolences and sympathy to her family and loved ones. I feel for the friend who was with her. Really a shame. Shows you what happens when there are drunk day laborers around all the time.
Your safer in Mexico it appears all the drunks and street thugs have come here.
In Mexico the drug gangs shoot muggers and troublemakers dead in the street, bang bang case closed problem gone. Its nice and safe for criminals here due to civil rights, useless law enforcement and unarmed citizens. Deport all these animals or at least allow people carry guns like in Texas these muggings are only going to get worse.
This murder will insure increased NYPD presence to make the place safe for tourisimo.
Tourism ? What the hell would people want to look at in Queens. A unisphere that works 2 weeks a year and some theater that plays flicks from India ? Forget the cops "YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN" The quicker people realize that the better.
May she rest in peace. So sad, that she had to encounter this vile excuse for a human being. FYI, Vecchio was reported to utter the following words:
"I only took her purse,” Vecchio said after the attack, according to court records. “Nobody cares about her age. I’ll max out my parole and come out better and stronger. I wish she got hurt."

I'm surprised that the crime isn't lower, we have sorts of Mexican illegals including drug gangs here including the wonderful MS13.
Careful what you wish for...
