Raw video: 3rd suspect arrested in connection with home invasion
Authorities said he was a friend of 45-year-old Suzette Troutman, who was an aide to the family robbed in their Bedford-Stuyvesant home.
Detectives said Troutman is believed to have been the mastermind of the October 11 home invasion on Decatur Street, in which an elderly couple -- 91-year-old Waldiman Thompson and his 100-year-old wif, Ethlin -- was tied up while the robbers made off with several thousand dollars in a lockbox.

Ethlin survived the frightening ordeal, but Waldiman fell unconscious and died a short time later.
The first arrest in the case came a week after the violent crime. Dwayne Blackwood, 27, was charged with second-degree murder and second-degree assault.
