Sources have told Chicago City Wire that sex toys and pornography were discovered alongside the body of 63-year-old George Levin, who was found bound with duct tape and an electrical cord amid evidence of a violent assault that took place in his Norwood Park home, where he lived with his Mother and sister. 

Levin, a local business owner and longtime resident, was allegedly targeted through the gay dating app Grindr, according to sources who spoke with Chicago City Wire. 

Grindr, launched in 2009, notes on its website that it is a global social networking platform for "gay, bi, trans, and queer people." 

Two illegal aliens, one from Ecuador and one from Venezuela, are now in custody facing charges for murder and robbery in connection with Levin’s brutal death.  

Alderman Brian Hopkins, who chairs the City Council’s Committee on Public Safety, confirmed the arrestees were illegal aliens in a post on X. The post has since been deleted. 

“Two in custody for this horrific home invasion and murder,” Hopkins wrote on X, according to CWB Chicago. “Both offenders are undocumented migrants, one from Ecuador, one from Venezuela.” 

A chilling turn of events unfolded when Levin’s sister unknowingly encountered her brother’s alleged killer shortly before discovering his body in their Norwood Park home. 

After hearing a loud noise from Levin's room, she went to check on him and encountered an unknown person, who claimed they were with Levin and would have him call her—though he never did. 

Around 10:45 p.m., she found Levin’s bedroom door locked from the inside, and upon forcing it open, discovered his partially clothed body, bound with duct tape and an electrical cord. Levin also had sock lodged in his mouth.   

His belongings, including his cellphone, wallet and car keys, were missing. Levin's death was later ruled a homicide by the Cook County medical examiner, confirming he died from multiple injuries sustained in an assault. 

The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide and confirmed that Levin died from multiple injuries sustained during the assault. 

Home security cameras also allegedly captured footage of the suspects entering and leaving Levin's home. 

One of the suspects allegedly stole Levin’s car, and both racked up charges on his credit cards.

Authorities were able to link the license plate to the Venezuelan suspect. 

This shocking crime has rocked the normally peaceful Norwood Park neighborhood. 

Neighbors described Levin as a quiet, kind man with a talent for interior design, known for his beautifully decorated home and gardens.

“He kept to himself, and he was very nice,” next door neighbor Judy Nalomski told NCB 5 Chicago. 

Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, has called for mass deportations in Chicago, criticizing local leaders, particularly Mayor Brandon Johnson—who is known as "Mayor Jitters" due to his tendency towards having panic attacks—and Governor J.B. Pritzker, for their support of sanctuary policies that have allowed tens of thousands of illegal aliens free reign. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently arrested 100 illegal aliens accused of crimes in the city.
