Illegal immigrant brothers arrested in Missouri in connection with deadly carjackings
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.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Despite conflict between the U.S. and Iran, gas prices in Missouri have been falling since last month, and even last week.
According to GasBuddy.com, average gas prices in Missouri have gone down 53.9 cents a gallon since last month and 9.9 cents per gallon since last week. This correlates with national average gas prices, which have been down 55.6 cents per gallon since last month and 6.9 cents per gallon last week.
Head of Petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, Patrick De Haan, says, “Fresh attacks were traded between the U.S. and Iran before both sides agreed to halt hostilities just in time Sunday, preventing what could have been a significant spike in oil prices.”
Patrick says that even though the market is unpredictable at the moment, “GasBuddy anticipates the national average will continue drifting lower this week.”
A fundraiser on Friday helped raise money for a mid-Missouri family’s effort to get their daughter medical treatment.
Hurts Donut from Springfield, Mo., traveled to Ashland to help the Kroeckel family raise money for their daughter, Harper’s, life-changing medical treatment in Italy.
“After exhausting available treatment options in the United States, the family is now pursuing specialized care that offers new hope for her future,” wrote the Hurts Donut shop in a press release. “Because the treatment, travel expenses and extended medical stays are not covered by insurance, the family is facing more than $85,000 in out-of-pocket costs.”
Harper had been born prematurely at 35 weeks and admitted to the NICU, where a nurse discovered a spot that they assumed to be diaper rash on her bottom. However, further inspection led to her diagnosis of Capillary Malformation-Arteriovenous Malformation, or CM-AVM.
CM-AVM is a genetic mutation at the cellular level that causes blood vessels in certain areas to be tangled, causing swelling, pressure, chronic pain and, in some instances, bleeding. In Harper’s case, it could potentially spread to her spine or brain.
The donut shop set up shop at the Ashland Optimists Club and donated 100% of its Special Tribute donut sales to the Kroeckel family, as well as 10% of the proceeds from its dozen donut sales.
