On October 27, 2010, at about 9:15 p.m., two armed men forced their way into the Sauganash neighborhood home of 57-year-old jeweler Shai Miller in the 6300 block of North Kildare Avenue, bound Miller and his 14-year-old son with duct tape, and ransacked the residence. The son was left physically unhurt; Miller suffered severe blunt-force injuries resulting in massive brain trauma and was hospitalized in critical condition at Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston. He died of those injuries on November 2, 2010.

Authorities later arrested 41-year-old Leszek Pawelkowski on charges of murder and home invasion armed with a firearm after a fingerprint on the duct tape tied him to the scene and Miller’s son identified him in photo and live lineups. Stolen items included silverware, a painting, jewelry and a substantial amount of cash Miller had been keeping for a large purchase. Police were still seeking at least one other suspect.

Did anyone in the Sauganash area know details about Miller’s customers, deliveries, or visitors around October 27, 2010?
