EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (KMOV.com) -- Funeral arrangements for murdered attorney Randy Gori were announced Tuesday as more information slowly emerged.

A public visitation will take place from 2 to 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13 at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Edwardsville.

Gori was killed in his Edwardsville home Saturday night.

The funeral mass and burial will be private.

A full obituary has not been released at this time.

Gori, 47, was found stabbed to death inside his home in the 4500 block of Mooney Creek in rural Edwardsville just before 9 p.m. Saturday. Gori was a well-known attorney in Edwardsville and the founder and managing partner of Gori Law Firm.

The Major Case Squad was activated immediately after officers found his body.

Police said a 2020 black Rolls Royce SUV Cullinan was taken from the home Saturday night. Officers were able to locate the SUV and a person of interest Sunday afternoon.

On Monday, Timothy Michael Banowetz was charged with Gori's murder.

Banowetz, 28, is charged with first degree murder. He also faces three counts of armed robbery and unlawful restraint. Gori’s relationship to Banowetz was not immediately known, police said, as they continued to investigate. While Banowetz's most recent address was in Wentzville, police said he lived a "transient and nomadic lifestyle."

At the time that Banowetz was in the house, there were two minors inside the home, law enforcement said. Banowetz allegedly forced all three of them to the ground at knife-point and tied their hands.

It is unclear what happened between when Banowetz arrived at the home and Gori's death, but prosecutors said Gori's actions saved the lives of the children.

Neither minor was hurt.

Authorities have not said if the kids were Gori's, their initials in court documents match their names.

A friend of Gori's posted on Facebook that she arrived at the home and interrupted the attack, having been out for a walk with her dogs.

The post was later deleted, but it read, in part, "My dogs saved my life and I wish I had showed up a few minutes earlier and maybe this wouldn't have happened."

It is believed she made the 9-1-1 call that brought police to the house, but investigators are not going into detail on the circumstances of her arrival.

Who is Randy Gori?

According to the Gori Law Firm website, Gori was a graduate of St. Louis University School of Law. He received an Academic Achievement Award in Remedies when he graduated in 1998.

Gori and the Gori Law Firm donated $10,000 to BackStoppers in October, 2019 in honor of fallen Illinois State Police Trooper Nicholas Hopkins, according the law firm's website.

In December, Gori and the law firm donated money to the City of Edwardsville for a new ice rink facility. The rink will be named the Gori Family Ice Complex.

Andre Davila was friends with Gori for years and considered Gori to be his mentor.

The two spent New Year's Eve togather, and Davila texted Gori to hang out on the night of his murder.

"I just got off work and I sent him a text and I said, 'Beer 30?' Davila said. "Want to have a drink?"

An hour later he learned his friend was killed. He drove there immediately.

"I was running stoplights, stop signs, I flew. I probably would get a couple tickets if they looked at but I got to the house and there were some state troopers there," he said.

Scott Gaines has been Gori's neighbor for 10 years, and was shell shocked by his death.

"I can't think of one person he was enemies with, just loving caring person overall and it's just complete shock to me," Gaines said. "It was difficult waking up to, I thought it was a nightmare."

Adnan Siddiqui belonged to the same car club as Gori. He said the two vacationed together and even went to a restaurant opening weeks ago.

"If you talk to anybody they're just in utter shock," Siddiqui said. "He was very well-known in his community because he's given millions of dollars of charity to his hometown."

"He'd pop in and visit and we'd have chats, and it was always nice to speak to him," McGinness said.

She said Gori loved talking about Ferraris and his kids.

"I don't think Edwardsville would be what it is without people like Randy," McGinness said. "I think people like Randy are what have allowed small towns like this to evolve and grow."

For her, Gori was the guy who took a chance on her so she could open her restaurant three years ago.

"Getting that kind of support is so special, you know, and so that's something you don't forget," she said.

Gori was also the managing partner and co-founder of Gori Julian & Associates. The group posted on their Facebook page saying Gori was a 'true leader, a wonderful attorney and friend and a champion of our community.'

"He gave so much to everyone he knew both personally and professionally," the Facebook post reads. "We will continue the legacy that Randy created and ask the community to join with us in supporting his family during this difficult time."

William A. Mudge, the chief judge for the Third Judicial Circuit, released the following statement:

"Yesterday the Chief Judge’s Office learned of the tragic death of Randy Gori. An evil and senseless act has taken a wonderful father, lawyer, and friend from the legal community. He approached everyone with a smile and was dedicated to the pursuit of justice for his clients. Randy’s generosity and support of this community was second to none. He will be missed here at the courthouse. Our collective heart goes out to Randy Gori’s family, law firm and friends."
