Sherron Sharpe, 36, of Elgin, Illinois, was shot and killed on April 13, 2022, in the parking lot of the Esporta Fitness center at 400 N. 8th St. in West Dundee. The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m.; Sharpe was struck in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. The assailant remains unidentified and there have been no arrests announced.

The West Dundee Police Department and the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force are investigating. Authorities say they are withholding some investigative details because Sharpe was awaiting prosecution on a 2020 felony mob action charge in Kane County, and they do not want to jeopardize any potential prosecution. Sharpe had prior convictions, including a 2006 arrest in Elgin for attempting to run over a police officer and a subsequent prison sentence on felony charges.

The shooting is one of multiple gun violence incidents reported in the Dundee area in 2022, and community leaders have expressed concern. Anyone with information about the April 13 shooting is asked to contact West Dundee authorities.
