'On Oct. 13, 2005, Jean Lampron was walking to a bus stop in South Boston on her way to work at about 5:15 a.m. when she was attacked by a man on a bicycle.
The man wanted her pocketbook. But Lampron, 68, wasn’t giving it to him. Not without a fight.
Her attacker allegedly dragged her down the street and beat her before snatching her purse and running away.
Lampron flagged down a doctor in a passing car who stopped and administered CPR to her as she lay at the intersection of West 5th and D streets, the Globe reported at the time.
She died later that day. Twenty years later, her assailant has never been identified''.
''Tragically, this was not Lampron’s first experience with violence. Twenty-one years earlier, her son, Walter, was killed in South Boston, just blocks from where she was mugged.''
''The man who attacked Jean Lampron was described as white and wearing a long black overcoat and tan baseball hat. The bicycle he left behind was a metallic-brown, 15-speed Magna Zanzibar model, according to Globe reports.''
She died after getting mugged for her pocketbook in South Boston. Her assailant has never been caught.
