94-year-old WWII veteran beaten during SW Side robbery; suspect crashed stolen SUV
By Evelyn Holmes Thursday, December 08, 2016 CHICAGO (WLS) --
Police are looking for a man who allegedly beat a 94-year-old woman, stole her purse and took off in a stolen vehicle before crashing it in Chicago's Garfield Ridge neighborhood.
The victim's daughter, Judy Dusk, said her mother, Josephine Regnier, is a World War II Navy veteran.
Dusk said she was waiting for one of her daughters outside her building in the 5100-block of South Long Avenue to pick her up to go to the dentist when she was attacked around 11:50 a.m. Wednesday. Police said a man pushed Regnier into the hallway of her building.
"This man just came in the gangway and assaulted her, beat the **** out of her, took her purse and ran," Dusk said.
Regnier was rushed to MacNeal Hospital, where police said her condition stabilized.
Dusk said her mother was transferred to Edwards Hines Jr. Veterans Administration Hospital, where she is in serious condition, but stable.
"She's in the hospital right now with three fractured ribs, a black eye, a big goose egg on her head and a possible concussion," Dusk said.
Police said a short time after the attack, officers found an abandoned SUV in an alley in the 5700-block of South Archer Avenue, behind Villa Rosa Pizza, about a block away from Regnier's home. Police learned the vehicle had been reported stolen.
Surveillance video from the restaurant shows the suspect ditched the black SUV after hitting a dumpster. He appeared to be holding the woman's purse as he ran away. Police have not said who the vehicle belongs to.
Villa Rosa Pizza, where the victim's son works, offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

At least working to protect the black ones from the consequences of their actions.
It’s likely the perp is a black American, by looks, but if he is caught and claims he’s a Wetback, “No-balls” Rahm will shield him!
He may still get justice. In a lot of places, if a person dies within a certain time as the result of a criminal act, it becomes a murder charge.
I don't know about Chicago, but in my home state there are enhanced penalties for any assault on a person 55 years or older.
