(Jewish Group) How the Highland Park shooter destroyed a Russian Jewish family's American dream
Irina McCarthy was living the American dream.
Born in Moscow, she immigrated to the Chicago area at age 2 with her parents, Michael and Nina Levberg, who — like many so many other Soviet-era emigres — sought a better life in the U.S.
Then Irina Levberg, she graduated from DePaul University, got a job in digital marketing and married Kevin McCarthy. The couple lived in the bucolic suburb of Highland Park, two years ago welcomed Aiden, and were planning on having a second child, Michael Levberg told the Chicago Sun-Times.
They brought Aiden to Highland Park’s Fourth of July parade. And in a blaze of gunfire, Irina, 35, was killed during the annual celebration, as was her husband.
