A Naperville father who was shot and killed in suburban Arlington Heights was remembered as a “devoted” man who leaves behind a wife and two school-aged sons, his family said.
Steven Weigensberg, 53, died on Friday after being found unconscious inside a utility room at Dana Point Condominiums, police previously said. An autopsy later revealed he suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Another man, Juan Medina, 53, was also located unconscious in the utility room. Police said it was determined he sustained a single gunshot wound to the head, and authorities said he fatally shot Weigensberg before shooting himself.
Weigensberg was a supervisor at the apartment complex, and Medina worked there as an employee. Authorities said the shooting was isolated in nature.
Weigensberg’s family issued the following statement on Monday:
“We respectfully request privacy during this profoundly difficult time. Our husband and father, a devoted man who leaves behind a widow and his two school-aged sons, is deeply mourned by us.
We strongly condemn the violence that has caused such irreplaceable loss, and call upon our community to join in rejecting gun-violence in all its forms. We thank those who have offered condolences, and ask now for space to grieve, remember, and heal…”
