Jose Rolando Castaneda Varela, 34, was shot and killed in a motel parking lot in Plainfield, Indiana, in the evening of a Saturday in September 2022. The shooting at the White House Suites also killed 52-year-old Alfredo Garcia and wounded two other men.

Police identified Dalonny Dion Rodgers of Indianapolis as the shooter and issued an arrest warrant charging him with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. Rodgers had a prior criminal history that included a 2014 plea deal for reckless homicide. He remained at large for more than a year before being arrested in December 2023 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on separate stolen-vehicle and related charges; authorities then began the process to return him to Indiana to face the murder and attempted murder charges.

Who knew Jose Varela or has information about the shooting that could help investigators or the victims families?
