A jury trial is scheduled to begin on May 6.
it was zip ties, spent casings and witness interviews that led to the charges against them.
According to the 20-page criminal complaint, the three men were accused of being associated in some way with the following crimes in Milwaukee between Oct. 11, 2017 and Oct. 31, 2017:
- Home invasion near 12th and Holt (Oct. 11)
- Home invasion near 30th and Hayes (Oct. 19)
- Kidnapping near 8th and Cleveland (Oct. 24)
- Shooting a couple blocks south of 13th and Howard (Oct. 24)
- Shooting near 32nd and Lincoln (Oct. 30)
- Homicide of Humberto Varela-Cabaellero near 7th and Becher (Oct. 30)
- Home invasion near 14th and Manitoba (Oct. 31)
According to prosecutors, police found a 9mm handgun at Santiago’s home. Police said spent casings at five scenes were connected to the crimes — one of those near 32nd and Lincoln. Police said Santiago fired the gun found at his home at a victim, who suffered four gunshot wounds, but survived.

Police also connected the gun to a homicide scene at 7th and Becher. Humberto Varela-Caballero, 30, died after prosecutors said Santiago and Pantojas-Juarez killed him while committing an armed robbery.

“He was just like my dad. He took care of my family,” said Jair Varela, Varela-Caballero’s brother at Zizi’s Pizza, where he worked alongside his late brother. “I don’t wish this to no one. It’s so hard.”
Varela said his brother was killed as he brought food home to his pregnant girlfriend.

Santiago was also connected to gun casings found at a shooting scene involving two Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW) employees.
Prosecutors said Felipe was also connected to a number of crimes, and said he admitted to his involvement in two different home invasions in a 12-day window.
So why do it? Several witness statements indicated Pantojas-Juarez owed money to a Mexican cartel, and had one-and-a-half months to pay back his debts.
