Moheb Diab, 27, of Machesney Park, Illinois, was killed on April 12, 2015. He was reported missing by his mother on April 13 after not being seen for 24 hours; his vehicle was located in a parking lot on April 17. The investigation identified 29-year-old James V. Doyle of Loves Park as the person responsible. Doyle, who served in the Army and had diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, confessed to shooting Diab in the head with a 9 mm pistol and hiding his body in a closet.

Diab had gone to Doyle’s home to retrieve money stored in a safe in Doyle’s basement; Doyle had taken about $9,000 from the safe over time and said he did not know how to explain it to Diab. Diab’s body was recovered at Doyle’s residence 10 days after the killing. Doyle was charged with first-degree murder and concealment of a homicidal death, pleaded guilty to both counts and received a 30-year prison sentence under a plea agreement. Diab was single, attended Rock Valley College, worked as a self-employed landscaper and was active in the Muslim community, helping many family members financially.
