According to authorities, Myrtle Brown, Sergio’s mother, was found dead behind her house on Sunday after police conducted a welfare check. Myrtle’s body was found in a creek near her home in a suburban area outside of Chicago. Police say they are still searching for Sergio, who has been reported missing.
According to family members, they went to Myrtle’s home on Saturday and searched the house, but they could not find Myrtle. Myrtle’s sister, Sheila Simmons, said that family returned to Myrtle’s home later and discovered her body in a creek.
We’re going to find out what happened because it’s not normal for my sister to not answer her phone, not to respond to text messages. People have been reaching out to her since Friday. No one was able to reach her,” Simmons told WGN-TV.
Myrtle’s death has been ruled a homicide, citing multiple injuries related to assault that she suffered. Myrtle had recently celebrated her 73rd birthday on September 8th and had just returned from a group trip to Aruba.
