(Romeoville, IL) — Police in far southwest suburban Romeoville are trying to learn who shot four people and killed their three dogs.
The police were called to conduct a well-being check at the home in the 500 block of Concord Avenue Sunday after a member of the family didn’t show up to work or respond to phone calls from relatives throughout the day, according to a statement from the village government that was posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
When they arrived, officers found Roberto Rolon and Zoraida Bartolomei and their two children all dead. Three dogs were also found deceased in the house, police said.
Police said they do not believe the shooter is among the victims, and they said the slayings happened sometime between 9 p.m. Saturday and 5 a.m. Sunday.
“Due to the time frame that has gone by, more than 18 hours from the time we were contacted, we are not asking anybody to shelter in place. We are not actively looking for anybody in the area,” Deputy Chief Chris Burne said during a news conference Monday.
Police did not say whether they had any leads on a suspect.
Anyone with information should contact Romeoville police at 815-886-7219.
