On March 10, 2023, Victor Varela-Rodriguez, 31, was found dead in Akron, Ohio, alongside two other men identified as Inmer Reyes and Domingo Castillo-Reyes. The three bodies were discovered bound and gagged, and a fourth man survived by pretending to be dead; that survivor reported that all four had been abducted from Youngstown and taken to the Akron area. Reports say the survivor’s detailed account prompted investigators to pursue a suspect in Copley, Elias Gudino, 58, who was later arrested and indicted on multiple counts including six counts of aggravated murder and four counts of kidnapping. Authorities believe there may be additional suspects, and the investigation was described as active with leads still being followed.
