Highland Park: Don't F*ck With the Neighborhood

highlandparksky.jpg

Last week, four men targeted a house on Avenue 54 in in Highland Park near the Gold Line. It was early evening - 8, 8:30 - and the team of robbers broke into the house, only to find its resident inside.

The home's occupant was pissed. And had a gun.

One of the four -- a 21-year-old -- was shot multiple times. By the time his buddies got him to Glendale Memorial Hospital, he was dead. The car's driver was arrested on charges relating to the break-in.

The police are considering the death a homicide, the second in Highland Park this year.

I live in the neighborhood, and am sad to report that the family that was robbed was forced to relocate this morning, with police escorts, to avoid retaliation.
