Francisco Reyes-Hernandez, a 38-year-old Hispanic man from Schaumburg, Illinois, was killed in a shooting in Elgin on October 25, 2021. The attack occurred in an apartment in the 200 block of Jackson Street; two other men were also targeted that night — Ricardo Sanchez, 37, was killed and a third man was wounded and survived.

Elgin police say Joaquin Lopez-Villagomez, 31, of Elgin, and two unidentified men entered the apartment and opened fire. Lopez-Villagomez was arrested and charged with multiple counts including six counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, home invasion, unlawful restraint, and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. He was held in the Kane County jail with bail set at $5 million; a court hearing was scheduled for November 5, 2021. Investigators continue to seek the two other suspects and have not identified a motive or said whether the shooting was gang-related.

Francisco Reyes-Hernandez was one of the fourth and fifth homicide victims in Elgin in 2021 as the city recorded an uptick in gunfire incidents that year. If anyone knew Francisco, was at the scene, or has information about the two unidentified suspects, please come forward.
