MAN BEATEN IN ROBBERY DIES

A 76-year-old man who was brutally beaten last month during a robbery has died, and police are looking for two suspects on charges of murder.

Willie Dodson was attacked Aug. 14 at his home in the 3200 block of Flanders St. He died Saturday. The medical examiner's office determined Monday that his death was caused by injuries he suffered during the attack at his home.

Norfolk police are close to arresting one of the suspects, spokesman Larry Hill said.
