The incident happened in mid-November in the 300 block of Person Street. Detectives went to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center that night to speak to the victim, who was critically injured in the assault.
The man later died and FPD identified him Tuesday as Darryl Fulcher, 58.
Fulcher was staying at the Eagle Inn on Person Street when he was robbed and assaulted, police said. Investigators determined that the incident was reported on Nov. 20 but Fulcher had been robbed and beaten a few days earlier. The incident did not appear to be random, police said.
