A 61-year-old woman died days after police said a robbery attempt injured her and another man, Alameda Police said Thursday.
The woman, identified by a coroner as Cindy Le of Alameda, and a 28-year-old man sustained head injuries during a robbery attempt in front of 1919 Webster St. in Alameda on Friday April 6, police said. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.
Both victims were transported to nearby hospitals and the male victim was treated and released, but Le sustained traumatic injuries and died at the hospital on Tuesday, according to police.
A surveillance video obtained by NBC Bay Area shows at least five people involved in a scuffle.
