Police identify robber who was killed

Philadelphia police have identified a young Oxford Circle man as the armed robber who was shot and killed by a Tacony delicatessen owner on Feb. 5.

Timothy Casino, 19, of the 1400 block of Elbridge St., allegedly entered Anna’s Deli, 4400 Princeton Ave., at about 6 p.m., pointed a gun at the shop’s co-owner, Anna Jukic, and demanded money. But when the victim’s husband, John, emerged from a private room with a gun of his own, the shots started flying.

John Jukic legally owned his gun and was not charged with a crime. Police have not released further information on Casino’s gun. ••
