A man who prosecutors say entered the Elgin home of a former girlfriend where he struck her and her current boyfriend, threatened them and smashed a TV was sentenced to six years in prison days before his jury trial was to begin Monday in Rolling Meadows.
Allen Lopez, 46, pleaded guilty last week to the August 2018 home invasion in exchange for the sentence, according to prosecutors.
During his bond hearing, Cook County prosecutors said Lopez began an unprovoked physical confrontation with the man outside the home. As the man attempted to run inside, Lopez struck him with a large, plastic child s toy, authorities said.
Commencement Speakers Say Adversity Has Set Them Up For Change
Allen Lopez ’21 said he learned a lot at UT, from balancing a ledger to learning the Greek alphabet to even the proper form for deadlifting weights. The biggest lesson: adapting to change.
“Not all change comes easily, not always is it by choice, but in order to grow, in order to survive we must all withstand change,” said Lopez, who earned a communication degree, in his commencement challenge speech to the College of Business. “It is through our ability and our requirement to adapt that we will hopefully see the horizon of a new normal soon, and although socially distant, we are definitely not alone.”
Claure s cause of death has yet to be determined. Neighbors in Far Rockaway said she was the landlord of a building, though her connection to the men remains unclear.

“This was a cruel, ruthless killing. As alleged, the defendants attacked
the victim and beat her to death with a machete and a bat, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement announcing the indictment Wednesday. A young boy is now without his mother and a community is grieving.
