The backstory:<\/p>\n
On Oct. 6, APD says that around 5:17 a.m., officers responded to a call in the 1000 block of Norwood Park Boulevard about reports of a person on the ground bleeding.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived at the scene, they located a man, later identified as 66-year-old Jeffrey Grable, with apparent trauma to his body.<\/p>\n
