A 44-year-old Omaha man who killed a real estate agent has been sentenced to life in prison. Ross Lorello was sentenced Wednesday for first-degree murder in the shooting death of 70-year-old Mickey Sodoro in December 2020.
Prosecutors said Lorello intended to kill Sodoro after the two men met at a south Omaha home Lorello planned to rent.
Lorello hid Sodoro’s body in a crawl space in the home’s garage before leaving the house. He told authorities that Sodoro had left with another person after they signed the rental agreement.
Lorello, who was convicted in February, declined to address the judge or the victim’s family before he was sentenced.
