♦ A 77 year-old woman Sylvia Seebeck died yesterday from injuries sustained from a beating during an apartment break-in on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. near the Salisbury Civic Center. The break-in and attack occurred over a week and a half ago. According to the victim’s daughter, the woman was physically assaulted after a Black male approached her on the street outside her home and asked to use her bathroom and a phone. Ms. Seebeck declined, stating that commercial venues were available 5 blocks away on Main and Innes Streets.
The alleged killer followed the victim into her apartment, picked her up and slammed her to the floor. Blood spatter remained at the crime scene floor and corner wall. Furniture was displaced. Ms. Seebeck was transported to Novant Rowan Regional Medical Center’s cardiovascular unit. The victim sustained deep head lacerations requiring staples, a concussion, and cardiovascular challenges. She remained in Novant Rowan Regional Medical Center for several days before she was transferred to a nursing home where she died yesterday.
If anyone has information about either the murder or the break-ins occurring in that area, they are urged to call the Salisbury Police at 704-638-5333 or Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
