Man charged in murder of Glenview man found dead during well-being check
A man has been charged with murder in the death of a Glenview, Illinois man who was found dead during a well-being check earlier this month.
Charles Poulos, 55, was charged with one count of first-degree murder, according to the Glenview Police Department.
Police said the victim, identified as 61-year-old James Solger, was found inside a home in the first block of Glenview Road just after 7:30 p.m. on March 2. The Cook County Medical Examiner's office said Solger had been shot multiple times.
Poulos was arrested nine days later. His first court date has not yet been set.
Neighbors who knew Poulos said he's a nice man, and they had seen him as recently as this weekend at the home where Solger was found dead.
They said learning Poulos had been arrested and charged with Solger's murder came as a complete shock.
Neighbors said Solger was known for creating elaborate Halloween decorations outside his home. They also said Poulos had part of a leg amputated, and Solger might have been his caretaker and living at Poulos' home.
Glenview police said they could not confirm that information.
A motive in the murder isn't known.
