Chicago-one of the two men of men who interrogates the Chicago police in connection with the horrific murder on Sunday of 63-year-old George Levin was arrested two weeks ago after a 13-year-old girl accused him of her in a car To lure on the northwest side.
From Thursday evening, the Chicago police have not announced any charges in connection with the murder of Levin in his bedroom in the 7600 block of West Talcott. Levin’s sister found him bound in duct tape and electric cord around 10:50 am.
Wednesday evening, ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) revealed that CPD arrest teams were on the street, looking for two “Without paper migrants, one of Ecuador, one from Venezuela” in connection with Levin’s death. Both men were in custody on Thursday morning.
Civil servants have not identified the men, but CWBCHICAGO has learned their identity through sources. We discovered that one of them, a 21-year-old from Venezuela, was accused earlier this month of abuse after a witness saw him and another man tried to lure young girls in a car in the 6200 block of North Sayre.
Officers who responded on the scene arrested the man after a 13-year-old girl reported that he made hand gestures and tried to get her in a white Chevy-Kobalt around 2.15 pm, according to Records assessed by CWBCHICAGO. The victim received a “wear” during the incident, according to one report. CPD classified the incident as an abduction.
About nine hours later, however, the man was released from the Jefferson Park (16th) district police office, only accused of crime. CPD refused to comment on the issue on Thursday and said it was a “constant investigation.” The department referred to the Cook County State law firm.
The office of the State’s lawyers did not answer when we asked if CPD had asked the public prosecutors to approve charges against the man for luring children.
Records assessed by CWBCHICAGO show that the man arrested earlier this month listed a home address that was shared by the second man in custody for asking about the murder of Levin. A source said that the Chevy Cobalt is registered at the same address. The Venezuelan man now mentions a home address on Logan Square.
As CWBCHICAGO reported on Wednesday, the police caught a break in the murder investigation when they linked a license plate to killing and used to detect the Venezuelan suspect. Also: one of the suspects carries a federal immigration electronic monitoring bracelet, according to a research source. The history of the device should enable researchers to know whether he was in the murder scene when the crime took place.
Matt Finn from Fox News reported Thursday That both suspects entered the United States on the Texas border in the summer of 2023.
CWBCHICAGO found no criminal registers in Cook County under the name of the second suspect. He will be 30 next month.
