Officers discovered an unresponsive male around 31st and Tasker Streets on May 4, after a group of juveniles reported seeing the body in the brush on Douglas Street.

According to a source, investigators initially followed a suggestion that Decero might have been targeted because of recent lottery winnings. Although Police Captain Jason Smith could not totally deny the possibility, he did tell FOX 29 that investigators worked with lottery authorities and found no evidence of Decero winning.

Joseph Rodriguez is accused of murder, PIC, reap, conspiracy, tampering with evidence, obstruction of justice, and misuse of a corpse, among other charges.

The exact penalty for murder varies from state to state, however, all jurisdictions impose a sentence of imprisonment (sometimes for several years). In general, first-degree murder punishments range from decades to life in prison (with or without the possibility of parole).

The penalty for second-degree murder is usually always less severe than the penalty for first-degree murder (less than life in prison).

Aggravated first-degree murder is punished by the death penalty in some states. The death penalty is legal in around half of the states, as well as the federal government and the US military.
