Last week, a 58-year-old man in Lake Villa was beaten to death in an alley behind Walgreen’s on his way home from a purchase at a local store.<\/p>\n

Authorities have charged Lake Villa Township residents Jordan L. Toney, 19, of the 39000 block North Poplar Street, and Buddy W. Johnson, 20, of the 21600 block of West Birch Street, with three counts of first-degree murder. They are held in Lake County jail on $5 million bail, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Authorities say they have now identified the 58-year-old man who was the victim of a fatal beating and robbery Saturday in an alley near downtown Lake Villa.<\/p>\n

Preliminary autopsy results indicate Jerry Griffith of Lake Villa died from multiple traumatic injuries after the attack near the 300 block of Grand Avenue, Lake County Coroner Dr. Howard Cooper said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

These two geniuses decided that they would find a victim in someone who was least likely to be able to resist them. Like any other predators, they waited for the right moment and beat Mr. Griffith to death when he was on his way home from a local store, robbed him, and dropped a 40 lb. sandbag on his head before they left him there.<\/p>\n

The mug shots in the articles show us what charming fellows they must be.<\/p>\n

Lake Villa is a sleepy, quiet suburban bedroom community which used to have a low crime rate. That has changed lately. Unfortunately, the element of surprise was at work here.<\/p>\n

If you think a gun might have stopped this, I would say it\u2019s rather doubtful in this case. It’s more likely that they\u2019d have stolen the gun along with Mr. Griffith\u2019s wallet and keys. \u00a0He certainly did not deserve what they did to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
