Everything would have started from a verbal altercation between the two neighbors, about gardening work that the victim was doing.
The neighborhood quarrel turned tragic in an instant. A few days ago, a 79-year-old man from Antioch, Illinois (USA) was arrested by police and taken into custody for the murder of one of his neighbors, 59 years old.
An argument over a leaf blower?
According to information from Fox News, the facts occurred on April 12 in broad daylight. The victim was apparently using a leaf blower to clean up his garden when the accused approached him. An argument then broke out between the two men.
Still according to the media from across the Atlantic, the septuagenarian would have ended up pulling out a firearm and shooting his neighbor at point-blank range, hitting him in the skull. The rapid intervention of the emergency services and the immediate transfer of the victim to the hospital will not prevent the death of the 50-year-old a few hours later.
The shooter had already “had confrontations with many neighbors”
While the shooter has been charged with murder, the neighborhood investigation conducted by the police has established that this retiree had already had trouble with the victim, but also that he was known in the neighborhood for his frequent bloodshed.
“We understood, after questioning witnesses, that this neighbor had had confrontations with many neighbors on this street, thus indicates one of the deputies of the sheriff of the county of Lake, quoted by Fox News. It was not the first time he was seen with a gun.”
