Possible Gang Fight On School Grounds @ Ames, Assault Report On Monticello

Good afternoon, everyone, it's 3pm. It's a cloudy afternoon with temps in the upper 60s. I'm FINALLY done with this semester of school! I'm so happy to be finally done with school, as this semester has been the roughest four months of my life. I've been depressed and stressed for a while, but I feel better to be done with school until June. My grades are going to be mostly Bs and Cs for this semester, and they're not the best, but I tried to do well. I could've tried harder, but I guess it is what it is, and I've already decided I'm going to do a lot better this upcoming summer semester and in the fall. I'm just happy to be done for now. I'm monitoring 25 from now until 5:10pm, then again from 9:30 until midnight. From 5:10 until 9:30, I will be monitoring the Zone D area (Armitage to North Ave., California to Damen). Lastly, I truly do apologize for such a lack of posts in the last couple of months, but this semester has drained me. Now that I'm out of school for a while, there will be more posts :). Here's crime for this afternoon and evening.

Man Causing Ruckus On Wolfram, Shots Fired @ Belden/Keystone

Good morning, everyone, it's 4:57am. It's a mostly cloudy morning, but clearing up, with temps in the 40s. Today will be in the mid 60s with mostly sunshine. I'm sorry for such a long hiatus in my posting, guys. These last few weeks have been the roughest weeks of my life so far, and with my mother being sick and everything, I haven't had time to do much of everything. Thankfully, she is doing so much better. And, there's a light at the end of the tunnel for me coming this coming week. Thursday is my LAST day of this semester for school, thank God. My time management skills have been the worst this semester, which has unfortunately spilled into my schoolwork. I took my Physical Science final yesterday, as that course was a Friday class (and all Friday credit classes at my school ended as of yesterday), and ended up with a C for the course. It was close to a B, which I really wanted, but at least I passed the exit exam for the course and ultimately passed the course, which means I won't have to take another Science class for the rest of my college career :). Also took my Criminal Justice final on Thursday, but I'm sure I did good on that one, and I believe I'm passing the class. I just have to put the last of my effort now into my Spanish and Humanities classes this weekend and into the week, then I'll finally be done. Anyway, and lastly, I'm monitoring 25 today. I plan on monitoring most of the day until my dinner. With that, here's crime for today.

Bulletin: Some Important News

Hello, everyone. I have some news I need to share with all of you, and it's not good, unfortunately. This is not about my family's financial situation, but it is still important. I just wanted to let you all know that I may not blog for a few days, or perhaps maybe even a week or two. My mother is really sick with something (we're not sure what it is) and she was taken to the hospital this evening by ambulance. I am waiting to hear about her condition and will be going to the hospital if she is admitted, and will stay with her.

I just wanted to let you all know that in case you might be looking for posts but don't see them. Also, to the ANA -- I am going to try my very best, and I think most likely I will, to show up to the positive loitering event on Thursday at Diversey and Ridgeway. But family comes first, especially when it's your mother.

Please keep my mother in your thoughts and prayers. I pray for all of you and our neighborhoods each and everyday. I will see all of you soon.

Thank you,
Tim (AKA Timmy) Granzow
Avondale/Logan Square Crime Blotter

Update, 4/29/13: I want to thank everyone for their concern, thoughts and prayers. My mother was released from the hospital Thursday evening and she is doing a lot better than before. She has no major health issues, thankfully. She had severe anemia, which was the main reason into her hospitalization, but that has been treated and she now has medicine that will continue to improve her health. Most of all, our relationship has gotten so much better and it was beautiful to see my family all come together in this time. I am thankful for life, and going through this has taught me to be thankful at all times because life is way too short to be mad or upset constantly. I want to thank all of you again for your support and encouragement. Without you guys, and my church family, I wouldn't have gotten through this.

Two Armed Robbery Offenders In Custody - Luis Quizhpe and Family Become Community Heroes

Cornell Mack

Keith Owens

Luis Quizhpe and his family were minding their own business in the family business on the 2200 block of North Western Avenue, on the border of Logan Square and Bucktown, located in Chicago's 014th police district, when these two men above attempted to rob him at gunpoint. These two robbery offenders got more than they bargained for when Luis Quizhpe brough a baseball bat to this fight, and won.

Although Mr. Quizhpe suffered some minor injuries, he is alive and well. The video below from ABC 7 Chicago tells the tale of a well known, well respected Chicago family whose dream would not be stolen:


Police officers in the 014th district responded and worked with Chicago Police Detectives from the Area North Detective Division at Belmont and Western in a timely manner, resulting in the arrest of Cornell Mack. News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien said Mack was in custody thursday, at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, Mack suffered a gunshot wound during the robbery. Police say Mack was shot by Owens, and his (Mack's) bail has been set at $750,000

According to ABC 7 Chicago: "Mack has a long criminal history dating back to 1978. Court records show he has been arrested more than 22 times and has served time in prison at least five different times"

Once Mack was in custody, Detectives moved quickly to find and arrest his accomplice, Keith Owens. Owens is from Minnesota, and it is unknown how he came to Chicago or why he was here. Owens appeared in court Wednesday to face attempted murder and armed robbery charges.

The Quizhpe family came to the U.S. from Ecuador, and built their family business while building meaningful relationships in the Logan Square community where they have been a mainstay for several decades. Luis Quizhpe, his wife, two sons, one daughter, and other family have been committed to their community, and have been there for others on multiple occasions. In this time, they are being remembered by those who are standing to support them as heroes even before this robbery.

 Ask anyone in the Logan Square community and anywhere else who has gotten to know Luis and his family, and you will hear tales of laughter, compassion, character, discipline, love, and much more! The photo of Mr. Quizhpe above, with the welcoming smile, the warm, and friendly approach, is exactly what the community has known Mr. Quizhpe for, and what has been the main attraction at his family business.

Man Yells On Central Park

Good afternoon, everyone, it's 3:10pm. It's a cloudy afternoon with temps in the 40s and it'll remain this way through the evening. I'm sure most of you have seen the news by now regarding the bombing that took place in Boston this afternoon at a marathon that was taking place. So far, 28 are injured and two are dead. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of these victims, as I'm sure all of yours are as well, and let's take this time to remember to appreciate the time we have with our families and friends.

Traffic Signals Out @ Diversey/Kimball/Milwaukee Ave., Burglar Alarm On Bernard

Good afternoon, everyone, it's 4:37pm. It's a cloudy afternoon with temps in the mid 40s and it'll remain that way through the afternoon and evening. I'm monitoring 14 this afternoon from now until 6:32pm. I meant to come at 2:24, but had some other stuff to do. I'm sorry, guys. Actually, I'm really sorry for my lack of blogging in the last couple of weeks. I've been really busy and stressed out with school, although things should start slowing down after this week for a couple of weeks, then I'm going to have to really push to do well for my finals. May 9th will be my last day of the semester and I'll have a few weeks off. In June, I may be either taking a class on campus (I only plan on taking one class over the summer, Mondays and Wednesdays from 8am to 11am) or I may start working. I'll have to talk to the Financial Aid office this coming week about that summer class, and if I don't take the summer class after all, I'll be waiting to hear about a job. But either way, I plan on doing something over the summer. Anyway, today's my sister's birthday, so I'll be spending some time with her. With that, here's crime for this afternoon.
