A man was found guilty Friday in the tragic and senseless death of a Milwaukee candy store owner who lived in South Milwaukee.
Read more about the murder of 77-year-old Roland Haefner in this Journal Sentinel story.
And check out this earlier story on the case. From it:
At 77, Roland Haefner still worked six days a week selling candy and trinkets to neighborhood children from his shop on Milwaukee’s northwest side, miles from the quiet South Milwaukee home he shared with his wife.
He kept the store going, despite having been robbed at least three times, until he was killed Wednesday in yet another robbery.
On Thursday, his family reeled from the crime as they tried to cope with Haefner’s slaying.
“He was trying to do so much good for that neighborhood,” said his grandson Robert McGuff. “I know it’s just one person, but for one person to do that to a guy who wouldn’t harm a fly, that’s just kind of mind-blowing.”
There was also a verdict Friday in the case of a former South Milwaukee resident and U.S. marshal who was charged with keeping nude photos of two women without their consent and false imprisonment. Read the story here.
