Police On The Hunt For Styles P Lookalike After A 41-Yr-Old Bronx Man Dies From Beating [Video]

NYDAILYNEWS : A Bronx man collapsed and died after a creep punched him to the ground and then kicked him in the head, police said Tuesday. Willy Montilla, 41, was felled by three punches to the chest at about 9:45 a.m. Monday by Westchester Ave. and Hugh Grant Circle in Parkchester, police said. His attacker then kicked him twice in the head. Montilla struggled to his feet, tried to hail a cab and fell to the ground unconscious. Sources said a cabbie mistakenly thought Montilla was drunk and refused to take the fare. Investigators are awaiting autopsy results to determine if the beating is what killed Montilla, who died after emergency personnel took him to Jacobi Medical Center. An NYPD spokesman couldn’t say Tuesday night what led to the attack. Longtime gal pal Yvette Pagan remembered Montilla as the “cool guy” in their Fordham Heights neighborhood, saying that he took care of her children as if they were his own. “He was always here for me and my kids,” Pagan said. “He loved children. Everybody, he cared for everybody.” Pagan said Montilla was on disability and collected scrap metal and painted on the side. He moved to Parkchester three months ago. She didn’t know why the men were arguing or if Montilla knew his attacker. “He never was in trouble like fighting,” Pagan added. “I don’t know if he even knew people over there.” Police released photos of a man wanted for questioning in the assault. He’s described as 25 to 35 years old and between 5-foot-7 and 6 feet tall. He wore sunglasses, a dark-colored hooded sweater, light blue jeans, black boots and a black baseball cap, cops said.

Jesus Take The Wheel: Bronx Man Mugged, Beaten, And Robbed For His Bible!

Damn, is nothing sacred anymore?!? A crew of robbers has struck three times in the Bronx in recent weeks – including one mugging where they beat a man and stole his valuables – even his Bible. Police Tuesday released a surveillance video of the Bible-theft beatdown in hopes the public will help detectives identify one of the suspects. The security camera filmed three young goons as they pounced on a man in the lobby of a building near Creston Ave. and E. 181st St. in Fordham Heights about 2 a.m. on August 8., police said. One of the crooks followed the 64-year-old man as he entered the lobby, the video shows. The suspect grabbed the man from behind and wrestled him to the ground, punching and kicking him. The suspect’s two accomplices – one wearing what appeared to be a T-shirt wrapped around his head – soon joined in the attack, cowardly beating the man while he was on the ground. They grabbed the man’s bag and dragged him across the lobby floor in a tug-of-war. The attackers eventually prevailed, snatching the man’s bag and making off with his cash, cell phone and Bible, police said. We get stealing his watch, wallet, cell phone, but his BIBLE?! There is definitely a special place in hell for these @$$holes.
