Evelyn Shapiro

There is now a $12,000 reward for anyone who can help bring justice to whoever brutally murdered 88-year-old Bronx grandmother Evelyn Shapiro in her apartment on Saturday.

"She wore an insane amount of jewelry all the time. We would tell her to be careful wearing so much jewelry...she said she was scared she would get robbed if she left it at home."

Neighbors speculated she may have been targeted because of her gold jewelry: “She wore an insane amunt of jewelry. I asked her why...She said she was afraid to leave it in her apartment.”
