Bronx Woman Allegedly Killed by Uncle in Family Inheritance Dispute Over Home | EURweb | Black News, Culture, Entertainment & More
Police say a family inheritance fight over a Mount Vernon home led to the shooting death of a longtime caregiver after her overnight shift.
- On Wednesday, the New York Police Department charged 58-year-old Michael Foster with murder and manslaughter following the fatal shooting of his 39-year-old niece, Julia Anderson, in the Bronx on Tuesday.
- The conflict stemmed from an ongoing dispute over a Mount Vernon home inherited by Anderson after the 2023 death of her grandmother, Icilda Foster; Foster previously accused Anderson of forging property documents, resulting in an arrest prosecutors later dismissed.
- Prosecutors disclosed at arraignment that Foster served prison time for a 1988 manslaughter conviction. Investigators recovered semiautomatic pistols and a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle during a home search, and sources say Foster made incriminating admissions during questioning.
- Remanded without bail, Foster faces murder charges as the case proceeds. Authorities noted the conflict had already spilled into courts, with Anderson filing a federal lawsuit accusing her uncle of carrying out a personal vendetta.
- Loved ones remember Anderson, who was near her 40th birthday, for her 17 years of caregiving. Omayra Andino, CEO of the nonprofit where Anderson worked, said, "She cared so much about the people that she supports.
