Illinois man using leaf blower allegedly shot, killed by neighbor in his driveway
An Illinois man using a leaf blower on his property was allegedly shot and killed by his neighbor this month, becoming the latest in a string of shooting victims purportedly targeted while doing everyday tasks.
William Martys was found dead in his Antioch Township driveway around 7:35 p.m. on April 12 with a gunshot wound to his head, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office. He was declared dead at a local hospital.
After an investigation, authorities on Tuesday arrested Martys' 79-year-old neighbor, Ettore Lacchei, who they say allegedly approached Martys and began arguing with him. During the dispute, Lacchei allegedly shot and killed Martys, according to police.
"Our condolences go out to the family and friends of William Martys, who was senselessly murdered," said Lake County Sheriff John Idleburg. "The members of the sheriff's office are relentless when it comes to seeking justice for victims. The members of our Criminal Investigations Division have been working around the clock to bring Mr. Martys' murderer to justice, and I am happy Mr. Martys' family can begin the closure and healing process."
Lacchei is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and is being held without bond in the county jail.
In a press release, the sheriff's department said that Lacchei had "various perceived grievances" with Martys.
A neighbor of both men confirmed that history toChicago ABC station WLS, alleging that Lacchei had pulled a gun on Martys at least once before.
"No one deserves anything like that and it's just kind of crazy to think that someone can just break like that over just a simple argument that can be fixed just talking," said neighbor JR McCarty.
Investigators found what they alleged could be a murder weapon near Lacchei's property line, the sheriff's office said.
Martys' daughter, Jacquelyn Martys, toldThe Washington Postthat the family had no comment on her father's death.
"We are trying to deal with the tremendous loss," she said.
