The Journal has more details on the murder of the 70 year old landlord at his Cudahy rental that Peter Kazaks brought to our attention Friday.
Journal Article on murdered Greenfield Landlord
As Peter points out you must be increasingly careful out there.
Last year I attended the breakout session on personal safety at the AASEW trade show and the officer presenting was clear that situational awareness is very important to lower the likelihood that you become a victim. Always be aware of your surroundings, regardless of where you are.
–Peter Kazaks
This is at least the third landlord murdered in our area while working on their properties in the past three years.
Many more have been assaulted. A number of Association members have robbed at gunpoint while working on their properties, with at least one severely beaten. A couple of years ago a former board member was carjacked at gunpoint at a fast food joint just south of the stadium. Two and a half years ago another former board member’s employees was hit in the face with a pipe and seriously injured on 24th and Maple during an armed robbery that netted $10.
Also remember that it was less than a year ago Milwaukee building inspector Greg Z (Known to many as “ Ziggy”) was murdered during an attempted carjacking during work.
