Samuel Rosales, 27, was killed during a violent home invasion at his second-floor apartment on West Lake Street in Maywood, Illinois, on January 4, 2018. Around 10:45 p.m. two masked gunmen forced their way inside; a struggle and multiple shots followed. Samuel was struck and taken to Loyola University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 11:06 p.m. Two other family members were injured.

Police arrested 33-year-old James Randle of Stone Park and charged him with first-degree murder in Samuel’s death and two counts of aggravated battery for the injured family members. Randle was found with a gunshot wound to the chest at a nearby location and treated at a hospital before being charged. Two handguns were recovered—one inside the apartment and another in an alley behind the building—but reports did not specify who fired the shot that wounded Randle. Randle was held without bail and had a court date set for January 24, 2018.

Samuel is survived by his wife, Blanca Castillo, and their three children, Yatziry, Samuel Jr. and Dalaisa. Does anyone have information about that night or the people involved that could help the investigation?
