CHICAGO (WLS) -- Three teenage boys charged with breaking into a Lakeview home and beating a 77-year-old woman appeared in court on Monday.
The victim, Joanne Signa, remains hospitalized in intensive care after she was assaulted in her home early Saturday.
Eli R. Ruff, 18, Lilearl T. Taylor, 19, and Tracie J. Towbridge, 19, all of Chicago, face home invasion, burglary and criminal trespassing charges.
However, the charges did not ease concerns of residents in the Lakeview neighborhood. Some said they are taking extra security measures and others are preparing to assist Signa when she returns home.
Relatives said Signa is improving.
Prosecutors said the two 18 year olds and 19 year old took a train to Wrigleyville area looking to target a house for burglary, then chose the two flat on North Magnolia Avenue.
Around midnight Saturday Towbridge got into the building and let the others in, the prosecutor said in Bond Court. Once inside the first-floor apartment unit, Taylor and Ruff allegedly beat Signa when she confronted them and continued hitting her when she would make any noise.
Apparently, one of the suspects also shined a cellphone flashlight inside the neighbors' apartment upstairs. She called 911.
The suspects were gone when police arrived. Among the items taken was Signa's car.
A short time later, the trio were arrested. Signa's car had crashed on the Dan Ryan Expressway.
Prosecutors said other items from the Magnolia apartments were recovered from the car.
One of Taylor's relatives told ABC7 that she hopes the woman is okay. None of the suspects' friends or relatives who were in court would speak on camera.
A judge set bail at $2 million for each suspect. Their next court date is Jan. 15.

Ah, the Dindu tribe is at it again!
I thought it was the Gibsmedat tribe.
If Obama had a son...
I believe one a separate branch from the other...like the oglala and hunkpapa sioux indians.
they are both part of the FSA tribe.....(free sh** army), but separate branches.
the dindu nuffin FSA gang and the gibsmedat FSA gang....all part of the larger FSA, who get their marching orders from sharpton, bozo, revrunt jesse, and others.
Jeez, for a moment the “names” threw me!
Thanks for removing what minuscule doubt I had.
A mongback, a motee, and a dodah?
Another hate crime by Africans attacking an old white woman. African criminals are essentially ruling the country too.
Barry’s Kids.
It seems the more Barack Obama tries to explain the peculiar statement he made Tuesday concerning his white grandmother's "fear of black men who passed by her on the street,..."
In my opinion, the Government Officials that through the power vested in them, deny people under penalty of law, the means of defending themselves are equally responsible. They, themselves, are surrounded by armed security everywhere they go, even to the bathroom.
As the media members are fond of saying, “ The people have spoken, My FRiend. And they dearly love their muslim that they demanded rule them.
“face home invasion, burglary and criminal trespassing charges”?!?
What about assault and attempted murder?
Another example of how ‘violent crime rates’ are falling....
UNDERCHARGE the punks for all their misdeeds, and the ‘statistics’ show a ‘drop’ in violent crime.
The media sucks this up & spits it our daily.
Very good. You need to continue to restate your case of undercharging African criminals to deflate the actual crime stats. People need to hear this on other sites too.
It’s unfortunate that any of these pukes survived their arrest.
Damn,
How did i just know these were some of obammy’s people?
