A home invasion in Washington Heights ended with the death of a 64-year-old man and his son tied up, according to officials.

Police said in the early hours of Saturday morning, a burglar acquired access through a sixth-floor window to the apartment Jacinto Remigio shared with his son. Once inside, that person let two other people in through the front door.

According to police, the suspects were able to tie up Remigio’s 40-year-old son, and somehow in the process, Remigio fell from the window to the second-floor scaffolding.

“My father taught me what work is,” Manauary Remigio, one of Remigio’s sons, said.

Remigio owned Jacinto’s Shoes, a store located near the crime scene.

“I’m mourning, mourning, the death, the loss of my father,” he continued.

Remigio’s other son remained tied up during the burglary and was not injured, officials said.

People in the neighborhood had nothing but kind words for the businessman and said they can’t wrap their heads around the circumstances that led to his death.

“It’s kind of scary, and it’s concerning,” neighbor Dora Lazala said.

Before the burglars got away from the scene, police said they stole an $8,000 gold chain and a couple of hundred dollars.

Police have not announced any arrests.
