Father’s last words to son: ‘They shot me in the back’
“They shot me in the back.” Michael Kozel, a beloved Gage Park muffler shop owner, managed to pick up a telephone and speak those words to his 31-year-old son late Wednesday afternoon. They were Kozel’s last words to his boy.
The owner of a Gage Park muffler shop was killed in an armed robbery Wednesday night, according to police.
He was shot in the back as he tried to run from his attackers, police said.
Michael Kozel, of the 2700 block of West Siepp Street in the Wrightwood neighborhood, was pronounced dead at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County at 9:09 p.m.
Two men entered Independent Mufflers Inc. about 5:20 p.m., in the 5600 block of South Western Avenue, and demanded money, police said. Kozel tried to flee but was shot in the back once, authorities said.
He was pronounced dead at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County about 9:10 p.m., the fifth homicide in Chicago in the first two days of 2013, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Records show that Kozel owned and operated the muffler shop.
About a half hour later, a 25-year-old man was shot in the leg in the the 7200 block of South Maplewood Avenue in the Marquette Park neighborhood. He saw two men in ski masks before one opened fire, hitting him in the leg. The round exited his heel and he was treated at Holy Cross Hospital for the wound, police said.

Everyone a victim in crook county.
RIP my friend.
Another black on white killing that will be ignored. My sympathies to this man and his family and friends.
how much money would the muffler guy have?
Some time a black man just have to rob and kill. Why you surprised?
Thank god this ain't gonna be a real news story...
How very sad!! Where is the uproar??? Jesse? Father Faker??? My sympathies to his family. RIP
And THIS is why we need to pass a concealed or even open carry law right now!!!
RIP
Just another number. The connected corrupt privileged assholes who run this city could fucking care less. He wasn't anybody. Just a decent guy working hard trying to support his family and pay his taxes. And now we have the two Super Cunts (Madigan/Cullerton) in Springfield trying to take away our right to bear arms. Perhaps if this man had a pistol he might have had an even chance of staying alive. How fucking sad this story is. RIP.
Mr.Kozel can't have a gun but not a peep about the 2 murdering niggers having one.
Ban all guns so the white man can't protect themselves from these jigs...
Open season should be declared on the blacks and start blasting them out of their shoes.
I propose a can hunting season. AfriCANS. MexiCANS. DominiCANS. Peurto riCANS. Fuckin scum jigs. How much does a muffler guy have?
RIP, but can't a business owner lawfully have a gun at his business in the communist state of shitcago, or did that change too?
I propose a can hunting season. AfriCANS. MexiCANS. DominiCANS. Peurto riCANS."
I like it! Let's make it environmentally friendly and pay a deposit for every can you turn in.
Of course the lying Tribune neglected to mention the race of the murderers in the description of the offenders.
Trayvon who?
Baaaaaazinga!!!
Yet another story of a nice guy in a bad neighborhood, someone who sticks it out to try to be at least a flicker of light in a messed-up situation.....
...only to get killed for his efforts. Shot in the back, no less.
Whether it's a guy like this, or an old lady with a candy store who is loved by all, or a shop owner who extends a helping hand to people who might be down on their luck....they all seem to get killed.
It's just not worth it.
Obam's sons again. Thime to bring back linching.
the gang shit on the overhead door of business dosent look to swift to me.
Hey dumb ass, are you an AmeriCAN! If so go hunting and kill yourself.
Oh yeah, condolences to his family. This is bullshit.
Double Baaaaazinga.
How much for you AmeriCAN ass, you idiot!
It's Commie-cago. Only the rich hypocriteCommie politicians can carry guns here. Wake up ALL OTHER Cities and States. Don't become Communist like Illinois is. It's horrible here.
Cant especially if your white and law abiding
That was a very nice low crime neighborhood 30 plus years ago. Until the animals move in & destroy it !!!!
Condolences to the family. Very sad.
Another day, another merciless murder monkey killing
Chicago politicians don't give a flying fuck. They hate working class white men with a passion. Oh well, a once-thriving business can now become another gang hangout.
What a maroon!! Moron didn't know how American was spelled.
If we could ban Niggers I'd be happy to turn in all my guns
Wow,that Illinois gun control is really effective at protecting you.
Niggers=Death
CBS Channel 2 news told everybody that two suspects are 'young and skinny.' Hmm - that's a great start. There's 2 Asian college boys running together along the lakefront...time to call 9-1-1. Wait, 2 women are at the bus stop...they look 'young and skinny,' but those heavy winter jackets are puffing them up. Can't be those two. I'm going to spend the weekend hunting for this pair. Two people, young and skinny. Great start.
I wish it was rahm running that muffler shop, stupid jew don't learn.
