Is My Brother Okay?

Woman Unknowingly Encounters Brother’s Apparent Killer in Norwood Park: Police Report

A family’s seemingly peaceful Sunday night turned chilling when a woman unknowingly encountered the possible killer of her brother, George Levin, who was fatally assaulted, robbed, and bound by duct tape and electrical cord in their Norwood Park home, according to Chicago police reports.

### The Events of the Fateful Night

Levin’s 65-year-old sister last saw him around 7 p.m. Sunday when they had dinner together at their Northwest Side home in the 7600 block of West Talcott Avenue, the police report stated. After eating, he went downstairs, where he lived.

### The Discovery of the Crime

Around 8:30 p.m., she heard a “loud noise” from his apartment and went to check on Levin, according to police reports obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times. After noticing the back door open, she saw a person she didn’t know and asked them, “Is my brother okay?”

The person responded, “Yes, I am with your brother. I will have him call you.” However, he never called, and she became worried again when he didn’t respond to multiple messages. When she decided to check again at about 10:45 p.m., she found Levin’s bedroom door locked from the inside.

### The Horrific Discovery

She pried it open and found Levin’s partially-clothed and bruised body, with his hands bound by duct tape, his ankles tied with a black power cord, and a sock lodged in his mouth held closed by duct tape, authorities said. Levin’s sister also reported that his cell phone, car keys, and wallet were missing, officials said.

### The Aftermath

A Monday autopsy determined that Levin died of multiple injuries from an assault, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. His death, at 11:05 p.m., was ruled a homicide.

### Neighbors’ Recollections

Levin lived at the home with his sister and mother, according to neighbors, and had a “knack for decorating.” “He kept to himself, and he was very nice,” said neighbor Judy Nalomski, who lived next door to Levin. Last summer, Nalomski saw Levin convert the basement into an apartment for himself and decorate their front steps with flowers and plants. “It was beautifully decorated,” she said. “It was the best-looking house in the neighborhood.”

### Conclusion

The tragic events of that night have left the family and the community reeling, as they try to come to terms with the brutal murder of George Levin. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to identify the person who took his life.
