A 79-year-old Illinois man is accused of fatally shooting his neighbor, all because the man was using a leaf blower, according to authorities.
Ettore Lacchei was arrested on murder charges Tuesday over the killing of his next-door neighbor William Martys, 59, in the village of Antioch on April 12.
Martys was using a leaf blower in his own yard when he was approached by Lacchei and the pair began arguing.
Lacchei allegedly shot Martys in the head around 7:35 p.m., the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said.
When deputies arrived at the home on North Black Oak Avenue, they found Martys bleeding and unresponsive in the driveway. He was rushed to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he was pronounced dead.

If I had a dollar for every time I said to my wife, I’d like to shoot them blee ers, I would be rich. There is an apartment that borders my property. They use leaf blowers even in the winter to blow the leaves and garbage out of the parking lots. It literally takes an entire day. I have to say, I live in W WA, and the leaves stick to the pavement. They also blow the leaves off of the non growing grass.
I’m stealing that one. My saying has been “Don’t be an asshole, eventually you’ll meet a bigger one.” Like the two dudes in the cell phone, popcorn throw movie theater shoot.
Death to him, and all that.
Bullet to the head would stop it
Even the Biosphere ended in sabotage and murder.
Not in this case.
And, yes, murder isn’t justified.
Not in this case.

If it’s justified, it’s not murder.
