Vargas was found dead at his North Side home in the 3200 block of Nantucket Drive.
In December 2022, Balraj conspired with his daughter’s boyfriend, Joshua Walls, and Walls’ roommate, Adrian Gomez, to intimidate Vargas into paying past-due rent and leaving the premises, the release states.
During a confrontation at the residence between all four of them, Gomez fatally shot Vargas, the DA’s office said.
Both Gomez and Walls were sentenced earlier this year in connection with the murder, the release states.
