Angel Saiego, a 59-year-old Hispanic man, was found shot to death inside a room at the Super 8 hotel on Grenhart Road in Stamford on October 14, 2024. The initial call came about 10:40 a.m.; officers discovered Saiego with a fatal gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators described Saiego as bound with duct tape and having possible blunt force trauma to the head. Authorities say the killing was execution-style: a pillow and a loud television were used to muffle the gunshot. Police allege the motive was an extortionate plot tied to financial gain and immigration plans, and that the death followed exploitation of a relationship.

Two men were arrested about a week later in Rensselaer, New York — Moises Alejandro Candollo-Urbaneja, 22, and Gregory Marlyn Galindez-Trias, 24 — and found with the victim’s belongings, including a blood-spattered note with his credit card information. DNA from both men was reportedly on the plastic wrapping of the duct tape used to restrain Saiego. Both were charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and two counts of risk of injury to a minor.

Did anyone in Stamford know Saiego or have information about his relationship with Galindez-Trias?
