Tenant shot one of 4 burglars dead at his Lake County apartment, detectives say

Three Sanford men were arrested on murder and other charges after they tried to break into a third-floor apartment and the tenant fatally shot a fourth accomplice, the Lake County Sheriff ’s Office said Monday. The resident, Luis Robles, 29, said he was at home at Raintree Apartments, east of U.S. Highway 27 in Four Corners, when he heard banging on his door a little before 3 a.m. Saturday, sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Fred Jones said. He looked through the peephole, opened the door and a man said, “Hey,” then fired a shot at Robles that missed his head and hit a wall, an arrest report states . Robles returned fire and hit the man, later identified as Aswad Emmanuel Velazquez , 22. He fired more shots as Velazquez tried to get up, according to the report. “I have an emergency — someone is shooting in my house,” Robles tells a dispatcher in a 911 call, adding that he didn’t know the assailants. More shots were fired through the door after Robles closed it, hitting his wife in the foot, th

Image
RICHMOND, Va. -- One woman was killed and a second woman was hurt after an argument led to a shooting outside a South Richmond apartment complex . The fatal shots were fired on Green Cove Drive , outside the Blue Ridge Estates apartment complex , at about 10:40 p.m. Thursday. Two women were heard arguing in the parking lot when the shots were fired, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett . "Officers responded and located the female with a gunshot wound to the leg, but also found a female nearby in a vehicle who was unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound ," a Richmond Police spokesperson said. "She was pronounced dead at the scene. The other victim was transported to a local hospital with an injury that was not considered life threatening ."

Bklyn. affordable housing plan faces delays due to de Blasio

Image
When Mayor de Blasio held a press conference in May 2014 to debut his new affordable housing plan , his full- color presentation touted a project called Spring Creek in Brooklyn. Spring Creek was flagged as a “case study” partnership between the city and developers to “create a strong, vibrant and self-sustaining neighborhood.” But on Friday, the bulk of that project remained a big, ugly vacant field of weeds and abandoned roadway in East New York. More than 1,500 of 1, 803 planned affordable units are now in a bureaucratic Twilight Zone — and may become less affordable as a result. “There is no progress from the progressive mayor ,” said the Rev. David Brawley, a leader of East Brooklyn Congregations , one of the groups sponsoring Spring Creek . Brawley said the delays to Spring Creek caused by the de Blasio administration are particularly ironic given that the mayor cited the project in his promise to build or preserve 200, 000 affordable units over 10 yea

Two brothers shot outside Forest Ridge Apartments in Parma

Image
PARMA -- Two brothers were shot early Saturday outside Forest Ridge Apartments , 5601 Chevrolet Blvd. Joseph Elsleger, 30, was shot once through the torso and Kenneth Elsleger, 27, was shot once in the neck. Police believe it happened during a robbery attempt. They said the wounds were serious but not critical. On Monday, Kenneth Elsleger was listed in fair condition at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland. Police said Joseph Elsleger was also taken to Metro but on Monday a hospital spokesperson said there was no record that he had been there. At least one of the brothers lives at Forest Ridge, police said. Here’s what happened, according to police: The brothers and a group of friends arrived at Forest Ridge at about 2:39 a.m. They had been to a Parma Heights bar earlier that morning. The brothers stepped out of a car. A male walked up and started a conversation by asking for a lighter. Then the male took out a gun and demanded money. He shot the gun once in the air, then shot bo

Holiday Homes in Ibiza: More regular inner city flights and earlier club openings mean it's becoming a year-round destination

Image
Not so long ago Ibiza had a reputation solely as a party island, but these days it’s far more diverse than that. The understated vibe means the superyachting crowds and celebrities can mingle with clubbers and young families, while sophisticated beach clubs and classy harbourside restaurants and bars provide plenty of posing opportunities. And with four flights a week now running from London City Airport , the number of tourists passing through has increased by 14.6 per cent since last year, reaching a record 7.1m in 2016. Flying two hours from London to a holiday island then staying in a city apartment might seem an unusual choice, but Ibiza Town is where many second home owners want to be. It has history, a chic St Tropez -style marina, beautiful beaches and the nightlife isn’t bad either. It’s a good indicator of how the Balearic Island has extended its season to become a serious contender to its sister, Majorca. “There are flights every day of the year between

Apartments proposed east of downtown Redwood City | Local News

A developer proposing an apartment building with a mix of market-rate and affordable units just east of Redwood City’s downtown is hoping to increase the city’s housing stock by 125 units. Though a public hearing date has not yet been confirmed for the six- and seven- story apartment building containing 15 studios and 57 one-bedroom and 53 two-bedroom apartments at 353 Main St., Alex Sanchez, executive vice president at ROEM Corporation, the developer, said plans for the building are ready for public comment after a year of preliminary work with city staff. “I think we’re ready to take this to public for a hearing,” he said. “Our initial submittal is basically a starting point.” Expected to occupy a lot where one- story office buildings currently stand next to a four- story luxury apartment complex , the building would border Redwood Creek on its southern end. Sanchez said 19 units would be affordable at very low, low and moderate incomes in compliance with the city’s policy that

Wire rope was spun here. Now Trenton factory gets new life as lofts

TRENTON -- The year was 1917 and the Roebling complex's Clark Street Rope Shop in Trenton reopened after being gutted by a fire two years earlier. The new building was ultramodern for its day, with steel trusses, fire-resistant materials and massive windows that flooded the space with natural daylight. It's here where the wire used in Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis plane was believed to be manufactured. Now, a century later, the building has been reinvented as the Roebling Lofts with 16-to-24-foot ceilings, 10-foot windows and environmentally friendly features . The latest project by Trenton- based HHG Development , it aims to combine the old with the new. "It was always obvious to us that this was the best development site in Trenton," Michael Goldstein, one of the principals, said during a recent building tour . "We've always had our eyes on it." But it wasn't until January 2011 that the county approved a development agreement with HH

Joan Rivers left $150 million fortune and it's going to daughter Melissa and her dogs

Joan Rivers earned a fortune from her QVC business and non-stop, stand-up performances - and it's all going to her only daughter Melissa, the grandson she 'worshiped' - as well as her pet dogs. The outspoken star, who died at age 81 last Thursday, is believed to have amassed a $ 150 million fortune , earning $40 million a year - and reportedly raked in over $1 billion in sales of clothing and jewelry in her partnership with home shopping network QVC over the last 24 years. Her lavish apartment on Manhattan's Upper East side - bought through a family trust - was recently valued at $35 million. And, as Joan publicly stated , everything goes to Melissa Rivers . However, the comedienne's goddaughter Tracie Hotchner has revealed that Joan also left  'clear provision' for her rescue dogs, Samantha and Teegan, who lived with her in New York, as well as a Jack Russell Terrier and a Border Collie in California.  Scroll down for video  goddaughter Tracie Hotchne

Wisconsin hate groups, hate crime hard to track

Image
White nationalist s, neo-Nazis and members of the "alt-right" clash with counter-protesters as they enter Lee Park during the "Unite the Right" rally Aug. 12, 2017, in Charlottesville, Virginia. After clashes with anti-fascist protesters and police the rally was declared an unlawful gathering and people were forced out of Lee Park, where a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee is slated to be removed. (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) One national survey says nine hate groups are operating in Wisconsin, although the nature of such movements makes it difficult to know their scope or predict when they will come out of the shadows, experts say. The hatred that spawned a white nationalist rally and led to a counterprotester's death last weekend isn’t unique to Charlottesville, Virginia, although it typically takes a subtler form than burning crosses and filling streets with chanting zealots. Wisconsin hasn’t had a significant public hate rally since
