Chicago police this week issued a community alert warning North Side residents not to allow strangers in their homes under any circumstances after the apparently unrelated slayings of two gay men under similar circumstances.

The bodies of Kevin Clewer, 31, who worked at a northwest suburban factory, and Brad Nelson Winters, 38, a theater director, were found in their bedrooms with multiple stab wounds, police said. The investigation of Clewer's murder is focusing on someone he met that night, and Winters might have been killed by someone he met and brought home, Chief of Detectives James Molloy said earlier this week
