Elijah Green, 32, was found dead in Chicago on May 1, 2018; his death was ruled a murder by strangulation. Authorities say Elijah and his younger brother Tony Green lured their 76-year-old landlord, Vasudeva Kethireddy, to their apartment on the pretense of a leaky roof.

Investigators report the brothers stole about $1,600 in cash and used Kethireddy’s credit cards. The body was first left in Kethireddy’s car, covered with a sheet, and later dumped in a sewer near the apartment; it was recovered on September 28, 2018. Police say the brothers planned the killing the day before Kethireddy went missing and that a Google search on Tony Green’s phone about how long a body takes to decompose in a sewer was found during the investigation.

Both Elijah and Tony Green were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and were denied bail.
