Cesar Cervantes, 45, was found dead on March 21, 2025, inside a home in the 6100 block of South Justine Street in Englewood, Chicago. His body had multiple gunshot wounds; his head was covered with a plastic bag secured with duct tape, and his hands and feet were bound with zip ties. A black .38-caliber revolver was found on the floor next to his head. Cervantes had been living in the house where he was found.

Also found dead at the scene was 59-year-old Adalberto Sabu Santiago, described as a reputed gang leader of the Spanish Cobras. Santiago had been shot in the back and was wearing black gloves. Investigators say a witness heard gunshots about 1:30 p.m. and saw a man fleeing from the back door. Authorities suspect Santiago may have robbed and shot Cervantes before a third individual intervened and shot Santiago, but the full circumstances remain undetermined.

No arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing. If anyone has information about the killings or saw activity near the 6100 block of South Justine Street on March 21, please come forward.
