That’s something you don’t expect.” ‘Sodoro’s colleagues at NP Dodge said they were devastated. “He was in the office Monday and it was a normal day, he was his happy self and preparing for the holidays and family.

ELKHORN, Neb .–

A man was found dead in a house near the 193rd and Q Tuesday.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Captain Eric Sellers identified the victim as 70-year-old Michael “Mickey” Sodoro. Sodoro was a real estate agent working for NP Dodge.

“It’s kind of creepy, kind of scary to know that a murder has happened in our neighborhood,” said neighbor Becki Stolp.

Authorities said Sodoro never came home Monday night. Sellers said his family filed a missing persons report and told MPs that he went to the West Omaha home to show potential renters the property.

Members of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office discovered his body on Tuesday morning in the house and declared his death a homicide. Sodoro’s car was found abandoned blocks from the house.

“You will likely see posts now [say] He came here and met someone and I think people think that’s a suspect, “Sellers said.” We’re looking into that, but we can’t even tell you if that’s a suspect. Could have been someone who knew him, who came here. We do not know yet. “

On Wednesday afternoon, a law enforcement agency told KETV NewsWatch 7 that a suspect is in custody. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office identified the suspect as Ross S. Lorello III.

The sheriff’s office said an investigation revealed that Lorello met Sodoro on the property. DCSO said Sodoro would show Lorello the house.

According to the sheriff’s office, MPs believe Lorello is responsible for Sodoro’s death.

This is an ongoing investigation, the sheriff’s office said.

Sellers added that for security reasons, estate agents should visit homes in pairs rather than just showing properties.

The neighbors told KETV NewsWatch 7 that the owners of this house moved out the week before Christmas and that it has been empty since then, save for occasional visits to Sodoro.

“I feel for the family, especially around Christmas time,” said neighbor Brian Stolp. “The loss and everything – that’s unexpected. It’s something you don’t expect.”

Sodoro’s colleagues from NP Dodge said they were devastated.

“He was in the office on Monday and it was a normal day, he was his happy self, preparing for the holidays and family. He loved family, talked to everyone about family. So it was just a normal day,” said Duane Rockette.

“We’re here to comfort one another, it’s just utterly tragic,” said Bill Black.

The investigators have not published a motive for the murder. Court records show that Lorello has no real criminal history but is facing financial difficulties.
