Concealed carry holder shoots burglar in Chinatown
Prosecutors say a concealed carry holder shot a burglar who charged at him when he returned to his home in Chinatown on Monday evening. Now, the burglar is hospitalized and charged with a felony.
Chicago police responded to the victim’s home in the 300 block of West 24th Place around 6:30 p.m. and found Tywone Underwood, 30, with a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
The homeowner, 32, told cops that he saw his garage door open and a bike leaning against the garage when he returned home. When he peeked into the garage’s side door, Underwood charged at him, the prosecutor said.
The victim took a step back, pulled out his gun, and shot Underwood once in the abdomen, said Sarah Dale-Schmidt, a Cook County prosecutor.
Police found the victim’s PlayStation, Yeezy slippers, and an Apple iPod in the garage, all of which had been removed from the man’s home by Underwood. Cops determined that Underwood entered the victim’s home through an unlocked second-floor window and then ransacked the residence, Dale-Schmidt said.
Prosecutors charged him with residential burglary and simple assault. Judge Charles Beach ordered him to pay a $25,000 deposit toward bail to get out of custody.
Dale-Schmidt said Underwood was convicted of manufacture-delivery in 2011 and unlawful use of a weapon in 2012.
But Underwood has also been convicted of burglary-like misdemeanors in more recent years, according to court records.
He was charged with criminal damage and trespassing in February 2019 after a North Center resident reported two men broke the front glass of her building and then started turning door handles on apartments.
Three weeks later, he was charged with misdemeanor theft of lost or mislaid property for allegedly selling three iPads that were taken in a burglary. He pleaded guilty to all charges in both incidents and received a sentence of two days.
Resident shoots, kills man who entered Beach Park home and allegedly pulled knife
Police say a man shot and killed another man who entered his residence in Beach Park Thursday morning and pulled a knife when a fight ensued.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office and Beach Park Fire Department responded around 12:40 a.m. Thursday to the 38100 block of North Loyola Avenue in Beach Park for a report of a person shot.
Sheriff’s 911 Telecommunicators were told that the person who fired the gun, a 24-year-old man, was involved in an altercation with the man who had been shot.
Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli said deputies arrived to find Tino Roane, 37, of Waukegan, deceased in the residence.
The person who shot Roane had been living at the residence and remained at the scene until deputies arrived.
A preliminary investigation shows Roane arrived at the residence of the 24-year-old man.
Roane knocked at the door and let himself inside because he was an acquaintance of the female homeowner, who was not home, Covelli said.
The 24-year-old man asked Roane to leave several times and then a physical altercation ensued between the two men.
During the altercation, Roane grabbed a knife from the kitchen, Covelli said.
The 24-year-old man shot and killed Roane. The 24-year-old man is currently in custody as detectives continue their investigation. It is unknown if he will be charged.
There is no known risk to the community, Covelli said.
The Lake County Coroner’s Office said an autopsy showed Roane died from multiple gunshot wounds.
Home Invasion Suspect Shot While Stealing Dog
DUNN – A Johnston County man was shot during a reported home invasion, according to the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office. Around 5:45am Tuesday, Harnett County deputies responded to a reported home invasion on Bear Lane outside of Dunn.
Deputies spoke with a 29 year-old woman who said she was awaken by a “banging” noise coming from her door. She told deputies she observed and confronted the suspect who was attempting to take her pet dog. She reportedly told the intruder to leave but he failed to do so.
Fearing for her safety as the intruder stared at her, she shot the suspect, who then fled the premises, according to a press release.
Responding deputies found the suspect about 200 yards away by his vehicle. He was transported to Central Harnett Hospital in Lillington for treatment of a gunshot wound to the lower right leg and a superficial gunshot wound to the right side.
Malihk Giles, age 20, of Oak Lane, Dunn, a southern Johnston County address, was taken into custody upon his release from the hospital. Giles was charged with first degree burglary and possession of stolen property.
The female victim told authorities she did not know Giles.
Giles vehicle was seized and detectives applied for a search warrant Wednesday as the investigation continues.
At last check, Giles was being held under a $75,000 secured bond at the Harnett County Detention Center.
Police say semi-automatic gun, machete used in Northglenn burglary before teens shot
Northglenn detectives said that two teen burglary suspects had a semi-automatic gun and a machete before they were shot and killed by the homeowner over the weekend after trespassing. Police believe the suspects were also responsible for burglarizing a nearby home on Sunday afternoon.
When LJ Perceval and her son came home Sunday, it was clear someone broke into their house. She immediately called 911 and was told it would be a while before officers responded, due to a “more serious” situation down the street.
Perceval soon learned the crimes were connected and the burglary suspects were dead.
Northglenn police connected her burglary to the juveniles shot and killed after trespassing around the corner.
Northglenn police report the suspects broke a fence to gain entry into the backyard of a home in the 11600 block of Pearl Street. That’s where police say the suspects and the homeowner exchanged gunfire.
The Colorado Make My Day law gives homeowners immunity from prosecution if they kill an intruder in their home under certain conditions.
