Sergio Varela, a 42-year-old Hispanic electrician, was fatally shot in the head on June 19, 2015, while rehabbing a vacant home near East 157th and State streets in South Holland, Illinois. Around noon three men approached the construction site, asked if help was needed, then forced their way into the house; during a struggle Varela was shot and later fell at his brother Jose Varela’s feet. The suspects fled in a four-door vehicle, leaving Varela mortally wounded.

Police later identified and arrested three men. On August 18, 2015, Keyada Salaam and Dontrail Anderson, both 21 and from Dolton, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery with a firearm, and attempted robbery with a firearm; investigators recovered the murder weapon and the getaway vehicle. Cedric Williams, 21, was arrested on September 17, 2015, in East Chicago, Indiana, gave a videotaped statement implicating himself, and was extradited to Illinois on charges of first-degree murder and attempted armed robbery.

Sergio’s family described him as kind and willing to help others, and neighbors said the daylight killing a block from South Suburban College shocked the community. Does anyone have information about the day of the shooting or the men seen near that job site?
