A man from Illinois allegedly hired a hitman to murder his ex-girlfriend because he was stewing over their split, according to local reports.

The woman, who has not been identified, was found shot dead inside a vehicle in North Chicago on Friday, the Idaho Statesman reported. Two men, including the woman’s ex-boyfriend, identified as Seferino Calihua-Rodriguez, were arrested.

Calihua-Rodriguez, police said, was allegedly upset about their breakup, according to NBC Chicago. So, he allegedly hired Misael Chavarin-Plazola to kill the woman.

The office of Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart called the slaying "one of the most calculated and cold-blooded murders we have ever seen" in a statement posted to Facebook.

Chavarin-Plazola was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder, according to NBC Chicago.

Calihua-Rodriguez was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, solicitation of murder for hire, and attempted first-degree murder.

Both men were scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, WGN reported.
