David Parra, Crystal Chavez and their three kids had just returned to their Chicago Heights home with relatives early Sunday morning after an all-night family gathering. The couple planned to celebrate their anniversary later that day.
Chavez headed inside, expecting Parra to bring the kids into their home in the 500 block of West 14th Place. But in that time, some neighbors who were drinking outside the house across the street had picked a fight with Parra, Chavez said. It quickly escalated.
