Vicente Mundo, a 20-year-old Hispanic University of Illinois student majoring in statistics, was killed on January 25, 2015, in Champaign, Illinois. He was last seen leaving his apartment after receiving a phone call; his body was found days later in a rural area near Tolono, Illinois. Authorities determined his death was a homicide.

Investigators say the killing occurred during a pre-planned armed robbery tied to a drug deal involving marijuana and cash. Two Parkland College students, Reginald Scott and Daniel Gonzalez, both 21 at the time, allegedly plotted the robbery. The attack happened in the parking garage of Mundo’s apartment complex when Scott, who had been hiding in a car trunk, shot Mundo in the back of the head as Mundo tried to escape. Mundo’s body was then taken to a rural location.

Both suspects were arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Scott admitted to firing the fatal shot and was later sentenced to 55 years in prison; Gonzalez was charged as an accomplice and faced a sentence range of 35 to 75 years. Anyone who knew Mundo or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
