Louis Silotto (HOMICIDE)
Case Number: SG71-15
Louis Silotto was shot and killed inside his residence in the 100 block of Sangamon Avenue on January 6, 1971. Silotto suffered from multiple gunshot wounds, and was found by deputies after employees of the tavern he owned/operated grew concerned about his whereabouts. Silotto’s black Cadillac, wallet, and the murder weapon were missing from the residence.
Silotto’s girlfriend, Juanita Banks, was determined to be the suspect, and an arrest warrant for charges of murder, manslaughter, and home invasion was issued on January 28, 1971. Authorities at the time suspected Banks fled to Texas in Silotto’s car after the murder, and may have crossed into Mexico. Banks, who was born on January 31, 1925, was never apprehended on her warrant.
