## Summary

Two people were found bound and shot dead in an East Harlem apartment in a killing investigators believe may have begun as a robbery. Police say the case appears to be a crime of opportunity, with the resident likely the intended target.

The victims were 66-year-old resident Wilgen Elias Severino-Tatis and his 55-year-old home health aide, Elsa Espina-Espinal, who had returned from a shop trip. Espina-Espinal’s son requested a welfare check after she missed her night job; police found both victims at about 8.30pm on Thursday. No suspect information was available by Monday, and police appealed for witnesses and tips.
