Chicago family fights 'pro squatter' who took over dead mom's home, left bullet hole in window
Fox News via Yahoo ^ | March 19, 2023 | Andrew Miller

A Chicago woman said a squatter with a long criminal history has taken over her dead mother’s home and has refused to leave since September.

Darthula Young told CBS Chicago this week that she received a call from neighbors in September that there had been a shooting inside the Chatham neighborhood home that her mother had left to the family after she died.

When Young arrived at the home, the locks had been changed and there was a bullet hole in the front window, she told the outlet.

"The person who had been shot in the apartment – this guy named Takito Murray - came back from the hospital, and informed us and the police that he now lived there, that he had rights – he was professional squatter," Young said.

Young said Chicago police told her she needs to go through the court system and she has been trying to do so with no success since September.

"It's been a nightmare," Young said.

CBS Chicago reported that Murray has been arrested for drug and weapons charges at least six times since 2017 and the outlet was able to confront Murray outside the home.

"I'm in the process of finding somewhere to stay," Murray told the outlet. "You can't just move like that."

I don’t know why people don’t just hire or ask some big guys to take care of this.

Unless you are in the right circles, 90% of the "Big Guys" are government plants.

So at what point does breaking and entering become squatting?

And then you would have to stay in the house,otherwise the squatter would break in while you went to work.

Break a window and toss a couple live skunks in the house.

I was thinking a few diamond back rattlers.

Yet another leftist middle-finger to the middle class - a druggie with multiple felonies is living in your house without your permission? Deal with it. And if you DO deal with it, we will arrest YOU!!! Ha ha!!!

Leftist hell holes that do not enforce the legitimate rule of law deserve to divorced from our nation. Conservatives, do not step foot in leftist cities. That includes truck drivers delivering food, medicine and retail goods.

Report a crine at the address. When the cops show up and bring him outside, go inside and lock him out. Then have him arrested for trespassing.

“Unless you are in the right circles, 90% of the “Big Guys” are government plants. “

This is correct. More precisely, they have a deal with the FBI to sting any civilians who try to pay them to do crimes, where the customer gets arrested, and the informant keeps the money.

“professional squatter”

I had experience with one of those once. We took an investment property (house) back to keep if from going to foreclosure. There were five or six parties in the investment group. We decided to rent it out rather than sell it in a down market and we put one guy in charge of finding a tenant. He had one job and all he could find was a professional squatter. The renter paid maybe two rent checks and quit. It took nearly seven months to evict him from the property and, during that time, he destroyed the place. Fortunately, he didn’t change the locks or declare he owned the house. That was the last investment property we ever owned.

Burner phone. Call 911.

Wouldn’t hurt to mention he’s a white supremacist and he used the wrong pronouns.
