ORLANDO, Fla.—A Turkish tourist on his honeymoon was killed early Thursday during an armed robbery in front of his wife in the heart of Orlando’s tourist district.

Osman Darcan, 52, died from multiple gunshots fired by a robber who was trying to steal his wife’s purse by their car outside the hotel resort where they were staying, said Orange County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Angelo Nieves at a news conference.

Darcan was trying to help his wife in a struggle with the robber, who fled without the purse into a waiting car.
