An Illinois man and his uncle from Florida have been arrested for allegedly stabbing and killing another man in Florida in 2022.

Reynaldo Paredes, 53, from Palm Beach County, Florida, and his 24-year-old nephew, Yoel Lazaro Paredes from Freeport, Illinois, are facing first-degree premeditated murder charges following the death of 49-year-old Jorge Mobilla Menendez of West Palm Beach, Florida, FOX 32 Chicago reports. 

The two were allegedly seen leaving a Mexican sports bar in West Palm Beach just after midnight on April 3, 2022, with Menendez.

Just before 9 a.m., a Spanish-speaking 911 caller reported finding a body in a dumpster in the 3900 block of Southridge Court, which is near a senior community.
