The father of two was attacked on Fulton Street, near Albany Avenue, as he rode home from his grocery store job and suffered a fractured skull. "We woke up and our mom says that our dad didn't make it," Pedro Tapia, now 13, said as he described learning the gut-wrenching news. She's had to work overtime, and has faced a litany of other struggles, since that punch ripped Tapia from their lives. The Brooklyn district attorney's office didn't immediately respond to a request about whether it would pursue upgraded charges against Anderson, given the tragic development. Tapia's family is applying with the Mexican consulate for financial aid to help pay for his funeral.
