Charles Holmes, 44, died on November 24, 2022, after a gunshot wound to the abdomen at his home on Crooked Lake Lane in Lindenhurst, Illinois. The Lake County Coroner’s Office listed the cause of death as a gunshot wound. He was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center and died in the intensive care unit that evening.

As Kellee exited their vehicle holding a firearm, the gun reportedly discharged and struck Charles. The Lindenhurst Police Department and the Lake Villa Fire Protection District responded after Kellee made a 911 call. Investigators interviewed witnesses and collected evidence.

The case was reviewed with the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office and Kellee Holmes was charged with one count of reckless discharge of a firearm, a Class 4 felony. At a bond hearing the court found insufficient probable cause for the reckless element and she was released on a $20,000 personal recognizance bond; a preliminary hearing had been scheduled for December 15, 2022. Does anyone have additional information about what happened that Thanksgiving at the Holmes residence?
