James McGill Jr., a 27-year-old African American man from Chicago, was killed in a shooting at the Indian Lakes Hotel in Bloomingdale, Illinois, on February 6, 2021. The shooting occurred about 2:35 a.m. on the hotel’s fifth floor during a large gathering; officers arriving after reports of gunfire found multiple victims and McGill was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of a confrontation between two groups attending separate events at the hotel and that several people were wounded. The exact number of victims is unclear because many fled before police arrived. Village officials had cited the hotel for prior disturbances and considered closure, while hotel management offered condolences and said it would cooperate with the investigation. No suspects were immediately apprehended.
