Nate J. Fox, 37, was shot to death on December 22, 2014, in the driveway of his Bloomingdale, Illinois home. He was returning from work shortly after 9:30 p.m. and was ambushed as he exited his maroon 2013 Jaguar XJ. Fox was found with multiple gunshot wounds, including wounds to his right wrist and left shoulder; the shoulder wound proved fatal. His fiancée discovered him and called 911; he was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Investigators say a Hinsdale businessman, 51-year-old Jeffrey Keller, stalked Fox for days beforehand, motivated by an imagined love triangle involving a woman who was merely a colleague of Fox’s. Keller reportedly unscrewed an outside lightbulb at Fox’s home, waited for him, approached as Fox exited the vehicle, and shot him twice before fleeing. Keller allegedly confessed to a friend; that friend cooperated with police and recorded conversations. Shell casings matching the ammunition used in the shooting were reportedly recovered.

Fox had been a standout athlete at Plainfield High School and played professional basketball in Europe.
