Man charged with Humboldt Park break-in

Well, some progress was made in Humboldt Park today with regard to the robbery earlier this week. Karl Smith, 30, of Chicago, was charged with home invasion and aggravated robbery after an assault on a Humboldt Park family that put a 6-year-old boy in the hospital.

Apparently, whoever broke in was after the residents’ safe. Police don’t know what was in the safe, but it is possible that the crime was drug-related.

Although police are not sure whether the boy was shot intentionally, the fact remains that a 6-year-old was shot in the head and remains in critical condition.

I was wondering what the man charged with such a deed looked like, thanks to CBS2 for the enlightenment.
