Inmer Reyes, 25, of Akron, Ohio, was one of three men found bound, gagged, and fatally shot after being kidnapped from a house in Youngstown. Reyes and Victor Varela-Rodriguez, 31, were discovered in woods off Cordova Avenue in Akron on March 10, 2023; Domingo Castillo-Reyes, 35, was found in a ditch in Copley. All three victims were originally from Honduras and were not U.S. citizens.

Police say the group was taken at gunpoint by two suspects, tied up, transported to separate locations, and later shot. A fourth man, Oscar Meija-Gomez, survived after being grazed by a bullet and pretending to be dead; he escaped and later identified one suspect during a chance encounter at a gas station. Authorities arrested Elias Gudino, 58, who was charged with aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder; at trial Meija-Gomez testified that Gudino threatened to kill them and claimed cartel affiliation, while the defense argued Gudino acted under duress. In October 2024 Gudino was found guilty on all charges related to the triple homicide, and authorities say additional suspects may still be involved.
