Robbery suspect accidentally killed self while hiding from deliveryman he thought was police

One of five suspects wanted in connection with a smash-and-grab robbery at a Cartier jewellery store in Midtown Manhattan is dead.

Ralik Hansen, one of the fugitives in the Jan. 30 brazen midday robbery, accidentally shot and killed himself on Oct. 31, according to the FBI.



A FedEx delivery man came to Hansen’s home in Brooklyn and knocked on the door. Hansen, 28, thought it was police at the door so he hid under the couch. His gun then discharged, killing him, according to the FBI.

Hansen was wanted on federal charges and considered armed and dangerous. He faced a federal indictment in April, but remained at large. The FBI and NYPD say he was a member of a violent interstate robbery crew from Brooklyn that also orchestrated heists in Atlantic City and Virginia.
