Juli Boeheim, the wife of longtime Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim — was robbed at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon, according to multiple reports.
The robbery occurred outside the Destiny USA shopping mall just after 2 p.m., the Syracuse Police Department said in a news release. Police said a male “youth” pointed his gun at the victim and reached into the car to grab a purse. Syracuse.com was first to report that Juli Boeheim was the victim. She was not injured in the incident.
Police said the suspect, who hasn’t been identified, then got into a car that had been reported stolen and drove away with two other people.
