NATICK (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - The gravesite of a Dorchester man
who was murdered in New York City
on Tuesday was swarmed by armed suspects minutes after the victim was buried on
Saturday afternoon.
Anthony Martino Cruz, 24, was buried at Dell
Park Cemetery
in Natick on
Saturday afternoon. His loved ones came
to mourn and find peace, but instead were met by a band of suspects who stuck
guns in their faces and demanded money, cell phones, and identification.
No one was injured, but the mourners were more than shaken and upset that the
solemnity of the sacred place was shattered.

Police believe the suspects showed up at the cemetery looking for information
possibly in connection with Cruz's fatal stabbing in New York City on June 5. Police found Cruz inside the Metro Hotel in
the Bronx.
The New York Police Department is searching for a 25-year-old black male who
was seen in surveillance video shortly after Cruz was murdered. At the time of the murder, the suspect was
wearing an Oakland
A's baseball hat and a yellow jacket.
