Bolingbrook Teen Shot Before Being Left in Burning Home

Bolingbrook girl, 19, allegedly shot before being left dead in a burning Villa Park house.

The Bolingbrook teen that was reported dead Tuesday in Villa Park was allegedly shot to death before being left in a home that was eventually set on fire, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Cedric Anderson, 42, was found dead—allegedly from a suicide—in a Dolton home around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, the report said. The Tribune also reported that hours earlier, his girlfriend, Ursula Nailor, 37; her sons Darnell Holt Jr., 16; and Daniel Nailor, 13; and her niece Dominique Robinson, 19, of Bolingbrook, were found dead around 7:15 a.m. after a fire was reported in the family's ranch-style home on Summit Road in Villa Park.

Investigators believe Anderson shot the four around 7 a.m. as they slept in their beds, Ahern said. Anderson then set the fire and went to his parents' home, he said.

He left a note at the parents' home, Ahern said. The note did not take responsibility for the killings but indicated he was "despondent," Ahern said.

At the Dolton home, police found a .357-magnum revolver believed used in the shooting in Villa Park, Ahern said.
