A Sterling man is murdered and police are on the hunt for a suspect.
The victim is 54-year old Juan M. Lopez of Sterling. Authorities are not issuing an exact cause of death at this time.
A second victim, 41-year-old Rodolfo Luevano of Rock Falls is at CGH Medical Center with severe injuries to his head.
The crime happened around 2:00 A.M. Saturday in the 400 block of West 5h Street in Sterling. Police were called to the scene for a disturbance and found the two victims when they arrived.
Right now it's unclear how they were injured. Sterling police say no knives or firearms were used in the attacks. Police do not suspect gangs or drugs were involved, but they do believe the suspects and victims knew each other.
Two suspects are in custody: 20-year-old Miguel Tamayo of Sterling and 19-year-old Luis Carranza, also of Sterling. Both men are charged with aggravated battery and felony mob action.
Police are still searching for the murder suspect: Jose Antonio Reyes-Gomez. He's 23 years old, 5'09" and 180 lbs, with brown eyes and black hair. Reyes is wanted on a Whiteside County homicide warrant and bond is set at two million dollars.
