With all due respect I would doubt that the national press would consider this story good reading. Sad and tragic yes, but pretty un-extraordinary as far as murders go. There is lots of evidence and the motive is primitive, clear and uncomplicated (robbery). After reading the story there doesn't really seem to be much to question or talk about-- even for me who comments on pretty much everything.   more ›

Remembering Nayyer Rana

Gas station clerk who died from gunshot wounds Tuesday morning is remembered by customers for being a nice man who would greet them with a smile.

Hours have passed since gas station clerk Nayyer Rana was shot and killed by an unknown suspect, but it’s clear from the many comments on Patch.com and on our Facebook page that he made an impression on the customers who purchased gas, soda, coffee and candy from him. Rana, 56, never made it out of the gas station today. Police are seeking more information about the homicide and are asking anyone who has details to contact Detective Neumann at 262-524-3818. Patch has attempted to contact the gas station owner to learn more information about who Rana was but the owner was busy with investigators. Here are some of the comments we’ve received about Rana:

Waukesha Man Pleads Guilty in Tosa Teenager's Heroin Death

Daniel Birtic, one of two suspects in the overdose death of Alex Hopping, pleads guilty to first-degree reckless homicide for his role in the crime.

A Waukesha who supplied heroin that later killed a Wauwatosa teenager has pleaded guilty for his role in her death. Daniel Lee Birtic, 24, pleaded guilty Monday to one count of first-degree reckless homicide for providing heroin to Alexandra Hopping, 19, who overdosed and died in her home April 18, 2011. A second defendant, Edwin Esteves, 33, is slated to stand trial in the case June 4; however, he will make his final pre-trial appearance Tuesday where he could also potentially plead guilty. The men were charged under the state’s Len Bias law after Wauwatosa police officers conducted a six-month investigation into Hopping’s death inside a home in the 1800 block of North 70th Street. The conditions of Birtic's plea arrangement were not …

I dont disagree with the fact that Birtic has to take some responsibility and serve some time. Where i get aggravated in this is why charge him with a homicide charge? ok we all agree delivering drugs is wrong so why not a delivery of narcotics charge? Everyone knows and agrees that no one ever forced Alex(bless her soul) to put the needle in her arm. Now for the rest of Dans life, when he moves …   more ›
