Two brothers have been arrested in connection with a series of carjackings, one of which was fatal in Missouri, authorities said.

Jasper County Sheriff’s Office released a statement announcing the arrest of Adin Aman Cantarero Benitez, 26, and Jose Cantarero Benitez, 20, on Thursday.  

Both are illegal immigrants from Honduras, according to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office.

Jasper County detectives were notified of a possible deceased male in a ditch on I-44 at approximately 5:25 on Monday evening. The victim was identified as Jesse Gilmore, 63, of Oklahoma.

Authorities say that at approximately 3:30 on Monday morning, Gilmore was shot in the head allegedly following a brief conversation with Adin Aman Cantarero Benitez.  Adin then got in Gilmore’s car, a red Chevy Cobalt, and met with Jose Cantarero Benitez before driving east where Gilmore was pulled out of the vehicle and dumped in a ditch.

The brothers, one driving the victim’s car and the other driving a blue Toyota Tundra pickup, then drove to Independence, Missouri. 

Adin was arrested for DWI at approximately 10:00 that evening. At that time, it was not known to law enforcement about his connection with the Jasper County incident.
