Rogers Park Execution
- The gunman was dressed in black and wearing a ski mask as he walked through Rogers Park on a sunny fall Sunday morning.
He passed a car, glanced inside and kept walking in the 1400 block of West Sherwin Avenue around 10 a.m., a witness told police. Minutes later, a single shot rang out down the street.
The witness got out of his car and saw Willard D. Watts, 73, lying on the sidewalk with a wound to his head, according to police.
73-year-old man shot over what? He still had his phone. He was walking his dog. Is this the same District that had the graduate student in town for less than a day getting killed recently?
Anyone here old enough to remember when Rogers Park was a nice quiet neighborhood?

No public protests either. This place is a dump.
RP has sucked for 30 years.
When the first victim of similar violence is murdered in Alderenos neighborhoods due to his obnoxious antics and pandering for stupidity — I bet he will be ready to CR and COPA any outrage critical of him of course by fire of CPD.
Hate crime. Black offender white victim.
I remember. Sullivan HS class of 67.

I do.
Grew up in the St Margaret Mary parish after moving from St Jerome’s and life was great!
Sad to see the toilet it’s turned into...
I caught a quick spin on local news about Comcast giving all the underprivileged neighborhood homes high-speed internet for $10.00 a month...
That sounds like some zodiac killer stuff
Roger's Park and Section 8 go together,The Projects moved North and Guess What Happened.
Male Usual...
It's something in the air...
They're no longer content to
hit a lick, get the shit and get gone.
When they started hurting people
just because after robbing them...
It was only a matter of time before
they started thrill-killing.
"Y'all scareda us, aintcha?"
But yeah... You're racist and culturally insensitive
if you're vigilant, combative and mistrustful because
you want to keep yourself, your family and your property
safe and unmolested.
Some mid 20th century, upright gunman declared:
"It's YOUR hide, how much do you value it?"
Just had another one shot in the head at Lunt and Sheridan,Rogers Park. Squads and 1st responders all around.
Just read a FB thread - here we go again - calling for a protest in Rogers Park.
Riiigght?!?
Between the demorats and the animals creating this BS -
Really, who is gonna hear the protest cry?
Not a single thing police,laws,programs can do anymore. Its out of control. Educate yourself and conceal carry. This happens anywhere now.
Gang initiation
In my opinion, RP leads the city in innocent people getting killed. Factually, it is going to be one of the regular shithole ‘hoods like Austin, Englewood, etc. But RP is wear ghetto and decent people meet - for some damned reason.
I was a tyke there around '70.
Seems the progressives got their dream.
Guess as long as No one catches a stray at the cafe everything is cool.
Yes SCC Rogers Park was a nice neighborhood about 50 years ago. I lived there and spent over 30 years working the lakefront areas on the job. This is a RP story. So I read in the news where on 26 Sep 1715 hrs. at 1200 W Albion a Loyola student is the victim of an attempt armed robbery where 2 men displayed a firearm.
In the second robbery at Devon & Lakewood on 29 Sep 1145pm a female student was the victim who was hit over the head, her cell phone and purse were taken. There were 3 bad guys one described as 5'7, glasses, wearing a red jacket.
So now I am wondering in incident #2 if she saw glasses & red jacket didn't she see the race, hair & color, mustache & beard, shirt, pants etc. I am also wondering in incident # 1 if the student saw a firearm why isn't there a description of the offenders.
The Loyola newspaper, the Phoenix, said that students were raising questions as to why they were not notified of the robberies. Incident 1 is across the street from the campus, incident 2 is a short 2 blocks from campus. The Loyola police chief cited the "Clery Act" a Federal law that requires when an incident will be reported on or near campus." He said it wasn't eligible for an alert. Gotta follow the book!
If you go to the Loyola Campus Safety website the incidents are listed with no real information that is useful. But they do have this information, "If a student is seeking resources related to an act of violence you can contact the wellness center or community coalition on gender based violence website. Yea right! So why no information on the offenders? Is it political correctness, "whatever" privilege, whitewashing crime or restorative justice? What is iconic is that Loyola has undergraduate and post graduate programs in criminal justice and the school of law to boot!
The Loyola campus was always ripe with victims of CSA and robberies thats why the predators seek the area. What ruined Rogers Park was the abundance of apartment buildings available to the scumbags, the left wing liberal thought that our City government and Loyola University exudes. Oh, and I think that it being on the lakefront it is affected by the "lake effect", you may have thought that was a weather pattern but it really affects peoples political leanings. And there are more nuts in the lakefront districts than in any part of the city. Just look at the other districts, 20, 23/19, 18. Get the picture? Also the demise started in the "Juneway/Jonquil Jungle."
That used to be a nice block, had a friend there. Some beautiful huge homes but some apt buildings. And a block from the lake. Have not been there in years. What's it like now?
Either:
Background on either or both victims tells the tale
Or
Commonality of victims gives a hint
Or
Someone(s) fancies self(ves) the angel(s) of death
Or
The business of whackery is alive and active
Or
It's Roger's Park and it's a safe place to murder at random
Or
Practice makes perfect
Or
YouTube darknet version is always buying product
Or
CGI gaming just ain't cutting it no more
Or
It's Roger's Park and ski masks in summer is not uncommon

"Anyone here old enough to remember when Rogers Park was a nice quiet neighborhood"?
I remember. But now all I can remember is how I'm going to pay for my CANCELLED HEALTH INSURANCE.
Sounds like a hit. Perhaps the victim was a witness to a prior insident.
More Chicago Values. Keep releasing them Kimbo.
Sorry but I am now retired.
I recall plenty of deaths from shooting along with several officers involved and shot by offenders.
The area of the Jungle has always been a hot bed. The prior area south of Devon on Winthrop and Kenmore was another area. Until Loyola bought all the area up.
Plenty of death and dismemberment too. Bodies in dumpsters, children in plastic bags even one wife or girlfriend sealed up in the walls of an apartment. Shots fired plenty of times at police or by police.
When I left 024 was a sad day since every day was like going to work at the United Nations of crime.
Promotion are great but bitter too.
I toured in 015 moved to 014 then 025. But 024 was a great time. It was a place where life was stranger than fiction.
You could not write this stuff up.
Rogers Park was nice into the 70's and that was when it started to turn southside. Another area that was okay was out Devon from Sheridan. It always amazed me that Jews and Arabs could live among each other there but killed each other in the Middle East. I have always been amazed at that fact. I think the Sherwin killing was a hit of some kind. We have about a two in ten chance of finding out what happened and that is what is also distressing.
We grew up in east RP and it was amazing. Back in the days of playing outside all day into the evening in summer. Go to the beach, no problems, no one worried. You knew everyone. Now, pffft, I drive thru there in disgust.
Both DOAs were walking dogs. Second shooting sounds very similar to your story.
BySun-Times Wire email
A man was shot and killed Monday night at the lakefront in Rogers Park on the North Side.
At 10:20 p.m., Eliyahu Moscowicz, 24, was walking on the Loyola Park bike path near Lunt Avenue when someone opened fire, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
He suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. He lived in West Rogers Park.
No one was in custody early Tuesday as detectives conducted a homicide investigation.
On Sunday, a 73-year-old man was found shot to death several blocks north on Sherwin Avenue.
The man was walking his dog when the shooting happened. Police said he may have been robbed.
Sorry, mea culpa, just read your Use link.
Sounds like very similar crimes a short distance apart, both walking dogs.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/man-shot-rogers-park-beach/
used to stop at a shithole bar called the HO in the mid eighty's.
was it a nice hood then?
Rogers Park & West Rogers Park: same shit
what a nasty neighborhood, infested with slime and scumbags, including those from the southern section of Evanston. The only force keeping this district alive (at least the west end) are the synagogues, as the worshippers live near said synagogues.
These corporations today are sooo afraid of the underprivileged today, that they give them whatever they want. Nothing but pussies
Maybe they need to bring back the "Thordale Jagoffs".
"Thorndale". Typo
lived and worked in rogers park. The east end along the red line was always crap. Sure there were a couple a nice pockets, but that was the exception. Way to many apt buildings. Landlords that lived in the suburbs.Howard st was a hell hole. The liberals , especially around the Heartland eatery were police haters. If it wasn t for S&C electric and Loyola owning a lot of land rogers park would look like any south side dist.
Why does crime and violence follow these community people wherever they go
The Cleary Act was created because a female student was murdered at an expensive college, and the school failed to alert students of the threat. The victim's parents were powerful lobbyists, and the Cleary Act became federal law, and is named after the victim Jeanne Cleary. Yet an earlier post raises an interesting point. Federal Law requires that any school receiving federal monies Must List all crimes on campus. And some off campus, if they involves students. SO IS LOYOLA FAILING TO COMPLY BY FAILING TO GIVE FULL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE OFFENDERS? In this age of Political Correctness, nobody wants to paint any minority member, including violent criminals, in a bad light. Yet, one has to wonder if protecting the "Image" of minority criminals, in fact violates the federal law. Students have a right, and should know for basic survival, the Race and Full Description of predators, who prey upon them. Students should not be sacrificed on the altar of PC. Stay Safe. Baby "G"

Grew St. Ignatius parish and used to whip up on the SMM black toppers. Used to be a great neighborhood.
Thanks democrats and leftist
I lived in RP in my early 20's. My RE agent told me RP was an Up and Coming Neighborhood, and I bought it. What a joke! I saw live gunfire from my condo balcony several times. I soon realized there was more section 8 there than I ever thought existed. The corners were an open air drug market. Buildings were being rehabbed and would immediately go section 8 due to the terms of the cheap loan the owner got for rehabbing. I soon saw that RP was going to be a bad neighborhood for a very long time.
It wasn't safe to walk around at night. Period. I sold and moved to a safer neighborhood. I did make a decent profit on my sale, so only the prices were up and coming. I wouldn't live in that area again for free.
I have never looked back.
Didn’t he know it wasn’t safe to walk your dog at 10:00 a.m. in that neighborhood?
just on the news another kids shot and killed right there, said 1440 block of Lunt I believe -
And no comment from Emanuel, Rauner, Preckwinkle, or JB.
RP was nice about 45 years ago. Kenmore and Winthrop Avenues attracted the bums, crazies, alcoholics and drug addicts. The cancer then spread.
And another
https://wgntv.com/2018/10/02/man-fatally-shot-on-bike-path-along-lakefront-in-rogers-park/
So what is this? A pattern? There's been three:

http://www.cwbchicago.com/2018/09/woman-found-dead-near-montrose-dog-beach.html
...and none robbed of phones or other personals.
Most recent murder victim sounds like initiation or, worse. This victim sounds like an observant Jew; don’t know about other killing of an elderly man. Withholding meaningful description is obscene PC — [but I repeat myself].
Yet another Rogers Park murder late last night.
Eliyahu Moscowitz, M/W/24, was shot and killed along the bicycle path in Loyola Park. Motive and shooter unknown.
Can Area North detectives rule out interracial serial "thrill" murders? Ballistics?

I thought crime only happened on the South side. At least that's what my Lib friends say!
But how'bout those new meters! New meters more taxes.
Left 21 years ago this month, moved to Montana. Before I left Chicago and Rogers Park. I lived at Northshore and Sheridan. Never Left the house without a .38 colt detective special. Never shot anyone but used it to deter a few bad guys intent on mugging me. I have 3 grandchildren in the area, I have not been back in 8 years. I now live where most of the people are very civilized. In those days just because I wanted to protect myself I would have been arrested and treated like a dangerous criminal. I don't feel the need to carry here in Montana.
That's what the puschel family thought in 83 or 84
Man was shot on Loyola Beach this morning on Lunt Avenue.
I lived in Rogers Park in the early 70s, and recall Lackey's Steak House on Lunt next to the El. One could walk anywhere at any hour with no fear. It was a quiet, mostly Jewish area. Mostly older residents, with the exception of the Loyola students.
Loyola, which I attended, had no security back then, as there was nothing to worry about. No one locked a door. Saw Blazing Saddles about 5 times at the Granada Theatre, and often ate at Little Kings. Now Loyola is surrounded by bad areas, just as is Marquette in Milwaukee.
For decades now, "diversity" has wrecked Rogers Park.
When the perp is arrested Kimmy will not file charges unless he confesses on videotape, plus she will want forensic evidence, the weapon recovered and a video of the offender removing his mask.
Ballistically, bullets from both the Watts and Moscowitz murders in Rogers Park were fired from the same gun. There are four CTA Red Line stops in Rogers Park. If the motive was not robbery, domestic or sex, what's left?
The shooting of the kid was a young Orthodox Jewish kid, absolutely disgusting even for Rogers Park.
Sounds Like Another Serial Killer on the Loose. Will the Media Miss this one? Maybe K-9 can do a sting on this before more people Die. Dress covert, and walk the puppy. Easy Peasey…
Oh, and it will have to be a white dude...
There's a serial killer on the loose, but 9.5 and specialEd will never speak those words.
If you see somebody wrapped like a mummy walking towards you in Rogers Park, regardless of the weather or time of day, run like your ass is on fire!
Can someone post if the woman found shot to death at Montrose Beach was killed using the same gun?

With freedom comes constraints.
Absence of constraint is to

RP was ruined by the sjw typescthat ard now destroying the entire city. Helen Schiller and ahole commie slime Coleman are no different than the progressive caucus and their commie pr person Joanna klonsky. Give them their way and they will destroy the entire city, state and country. Watch what they are doing to Kavanaugh and jvd shows me that they must be stopped by any means necessary.

In the late 60’s I worked up in 020 and lived around Morse and Sheridan. In s the summer I would walk down to the Morse Ave beach with just a towel and warm ups and swim. Never carried id’s and left the warm ups and towel on the sand while I swam, even in the evenings. Never had a problem. Was different then

Rahm wants you to go to Stroger a reward for your years of service!
Rogers Park started going to shit in '78...
Bangers started moving in, en masse. Had my family stayed in the neighborhood, I'd have had my pick of two demilitarized zones to attend High School: Sullivan or Senn.
So we packed up our stuff, said good bye to ole Hayt School, and moved out of the City. It was rough being a city kid and getting transplanted to the 'burbs. But we adapted, and in hindsight I thank my parents for what they did to get us the hell out of the Shitty.
back then the whole place was pretty nice with the exception of Juneway Terrace that was a shit hole... Now the whole place is a shit hole and that's really sad.
I worked and lived in 024. I think we can quell a lot of fear and engage in positive interaction with the community by sponsoring a PINNERS tournament on the steps of Senn High School. Bring back the happy times!

Except that Helen Schiller was Uptown. Yes, Klnosky is a socialist, as are her father and his brother. And Lori Montana is all apart of the Jim Edgar lottery thing, in addition to being Garry’s person. Please, get some new material.

Sport.
The Grim Reaper of Rogers Park is afoot.
Random serial murderer with no known motive. No day/night time pattern.
I remember Rogers Park being about the same in the 80's as today, and looking then like it'd been that way for a while. It's always been up and coming, never arrives. The area east of Sheridan is mostly very stable, same with first block west of Sheridan, and many individual blocks further west are also great. My guess is many of the childhood memories are coming from people who remember the immediate area of their homes.
Somebody ought to triangulate the surveillance photo. Should be able to get an exact height. He looks tall and quite lean to me. Reports at CWB say 5'8" to 5'10" and 170 lbs, but that doesn't look right to me.
10:00 am on a Sunday morning. In a ski mask. That's truly weird stuff. He had to know the neighborhood reasonably well in order to get away quickly. CWB says witnesses saw him "running southbound near a set of train tracks" still in his mask.
If I understand, the 2nd murder took place well off Sheridan into the park, not right along the street. Again seems to be a sign of someone familiar with the neighborhood, literally getting off the beaten path. An outsider driving through looking for random white victims would probably just step out of a car, shoot and jump back in.
Single shot to the head. Weird. Very weird. I thought serial killing had gone out of style, that crazies all wanted to be celebrities today. This is like 1980 all over. More Son of Sam than JW Gacy.
The Clark theatre / Flukys, the Granada, 1997-1981 lived there, then made enough money to move on. Nice buildings/bad residents
Yes, I remember attending family parties there in the 1970s and 1980s. I have a few family members still living there on Arthur.
Call in the FBI Behavior Science Unit from Quantico for profiling. The B.S. Unit will blame Hannibal Lecter.
