Two Men Charged in Morgan Park Slaying
Two men were arrested on Sunday in connection with the murder of an elderly Morgan Park man. Leroy C. Owens, 27, and Jonathan T. Robinson, 25, were charged with first degree murder, police say.
Friday morning, two offenders broke into a home in the 10800 block of South Sangamon and fatally shot 71-year-old Anthony Anglin.
Owens and Robinson were also charged with one felony count of home invasion and a felony count of attempted robbery, according to police.
Anglin's son and an unidentified woman both ran out of the house, but Anglin was shot.
According to a press release, Owens and Robinson appeared in Central Bond Court on Sunday. They are both being held without bail. Owens is on parole for a 2006 armed robbery conviction and Robinson has a previous conviction on a weapons charge.
Barbara Anglin, Anglin's wife, said her husband grew up in Chicago and worked for the city's vehicle impound division before his retirement.
"He was a fantastic, wonderful family man," she said. "We're all just devastated by this. I just can't believe what has happened."
