The fatal shooting of a couple and their two young children inside their suburban Chicago home was a targeted crime, police revealed Tuesday as neighbors in the quiet community wondered how they didn’t hear any gunshots.
Alberto Rolon, 38, and Zoraida Bartolomei, 32, and their two sons, Diego, 7, and Adriel, 9, along with their three dogs, were all found dead of gunshot wounds Sunday night, authorities said.
“Our detectives and crime scene investigators have spent the last 36 hours collecting a large amount of physical evidence,” Romeoville Deputy Police Chief Chris Burne said in a videotaped update. “We were able to determine that this was not a random incident.”
He called the homicide investigation the department’s “top priority” and urged community members to come forward with any information, including doorbell recordings, that might help the investigation.
Some neighbors can’t believe they didn’t hear the gunshots that police believe happened between Saturday night and early Sunday morning.
“My niece, her bedroom is on the side of the driveway,” a neighbor told ABC 7 Chicago. “And he didn’t hear anything. And he has two little dogs and one of them if he hears anything, he’ll bark and nothing.”

“I never heard anything, if I did, I would have reported it,” neighbor Lynn Philips told Fox 32.
Another neighbor told the station it was “very bad” that no one heard anything, even though the houses were nearby.
The family moved into the neighborhood earlier this year, and despite being considered good neighbors, have mostly been quiet.
Neighbor Cristina Ibarra said the neighborhood is so peaceful that police don’t usually patrol the area on weekends.

“It’s sad because it’s your neighborhood and it’s usually quiet, and then this happens,” Ibarra told the Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s very sad.”
Philips told the newspaper the garage sale he had last year was “probably the most exciting” the neighborhood has had.
Romeoville is located about 30 miles southwest of Chicago.

Officers came upon the bloody scene Sunday night when they conducted a welfare check on the family.
“We will continue to exhaust every resource at our disposal and we will not rest until those responsible for this tragedy are brought to justice,” Burne vowed on Tuesday.
