In the early morning hours of May 25, 2015, 32-year-old Gildardo Toledo was killed during a planned robbery at an apartment he was house-sitting at 875 W. Meadowbrook Expressway in Millcreek. Neighbors reported hearing a gunshot around 4 a.m., but Toledo’s body was not discovered until May 29 after a sliding glass door had been left open for days.

Investigators say four people carried out the plan: Alisha Hope Moore, Richard Trujillo, Francisco Garcia, and Sarah Ortiz. Moore reportedly sent texts from Toledo’s phone to Ortiz earlier that morning, then returned with the others. Ortiz opened a back door for Trujillo and Garcia to enter. A struggle followed when Trujillo allegedly pointed a .45-caliber handgun at Toledo; Garcia threw a bottle and Trujillo fired the single fatal shot. The group fled and attempted to hide evidence, including stashing the gun and destroying Ortiz’s phone SIM card.

All four were charged with murder and aggravated robbery. By late 2017 the defendants’ cases had different outcomes: Garcia was convicted by a jury in March 2017; Trujillo was acquitted in November 2017; Moore and Ortiz pleaded to reduced charges, with Moore receiving prison time and Ortiz given probation with suspended sentences. If anyone knew Toledo or has information about that night, please share what might help the ongoing record of the case.
