Sister Finds Brother Bound, Gagged And Killed In Basement; 2 Arrested: Reports

CHICAGO — Two people were arrested in connection with the brutal killing of a man found bound and gagged after the weekend attack in Chicago, according to reports.

George Levin, 63, was discovered in a basement bedroom shortly before 11 p.m. Sunday in the 7600 block of West Talcott Avenue in the city’s Norwood Park neighborhood, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported the arrest Thursday of two people of interest.

A few hours before the body was discovered, Levin’s sister, who lived in the same building, heard a “loud noise” in his apartment, saw the back door was open and encountered a stranger, who told her he was with Levin and would have him call her, according to the Sun-Times.

The sister later found Levin, partially clothed and bruised, bound with duct tape and a power cord, a sock in his mouth, the newspaper reported.

On Friday, Chicago police revealed that two men, both of the 6100 block of Northwest Highway, are charged in connection with Levin's killing.

Jefferson Ubilla-Delgado, 29, and Geiderwuin Bello Morales, 21, are each charged with one count of murder and one county of robbery of a victim who is handicapped or over age 60.

Ubilla-Delgado was arrested Wednesday in the 6100 block of Northwest Highway, while Bello Morale was arrested Thursday in the 2600 block of North Troy.
