Neighbors have said the area is quiet, and crime in the neighborhood is rare.

“It was very upsetting to hear,” said David Kane. “Definitely disturbing to hear something like this.”

Kane said he has lived in Norwood Park for more than 20 years, and knows everyone but the family in the home where Levin was killed.

“I’d like to know the details of what happened. What’s behind this?” he said. “You know, something happening basically right around the corner from me, you know, what happened here?”
