Aurora Brothers Found Dead in Lockport Town House Under Construction

LOCKPORT, IL — Officials Wednesday released the identities of two brothers found dead in a town house under construction.

The bodies of Marco Ceja Sanchez, 37, and 36-year-old David Ceja Sanchez, both of Aurora, were found Tuesday morning in the building in the 16100 block of Coneflower Drive. The bodies were discovered by a construction foreman; both men are believed to be construction workers.

The men did not die of natural causes, and their deaths are being investigated as a double homicide — the city's first murders in years, Lockport police told NBC. Police believe it to be an isolated incident and do not believe there is any danger to the community.

Authorities were still on the scene at Sagebrook Homes Wednesday morning. Specific cause of death has not yet been revealed. Autopsies are scheduled for Wednesday.

Police urge anyone who might have witnessed something that could aid in the ongoing investigation to call 815-838-2132.
