The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that occurred early this morning at a party in the 8400 Block of Immanuel Road in unincorporated Yorkville.
The Sheriff's Office received a 911 call for reports of shots being fired at a party at approximately 1:36 AM. Upon arriving in the area deputies located several individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. A twenty-one-year-old man was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries and is currently receiving ongoing medical treatment. Two twenty-two-year-old women and an eighteen-year-old woman were also treated at area hospitals for non-life threatening injuries and have since been released.
Detectives responded to the scene and initiated an investigation. At this time it appears the suspect opened fire with a handgun following a dispute between attendees at the party. The suspect is not currently in custody and is described as a Hispanic male in his early 20’s, around 5’10” with a thin build and a goatee. He was reported to be wearing a white shirt at the time the shooting occurred.
At this time several investigative leads have been developed and are currently being pursued. Based on the investigation thus far, this is not believed to be a random act.
