On December 2, 2023, a fatal shooting at the Hilton Suites, 10 Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace, left 33-year-old Calvin Truitt dead from two gunshot wounds to his back and side. Police say the incident began with a verbal altercation between Truitt and 51-year-old Latrice Phillips of Naperville at the hotel pool. After both groups left the pool and entered an elevator, Phillips allegedly followed, and when the elevator stopped on the seventh floor a fight broke out. Phillips allegedly produced a handgun and fired three times, striking Truitt.

Truitt was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Phillips fled briefly but returned to her room and was arrested there; authorities recovered a Taurus 9 mm handgun in a holster on her waistband. Phillips has been charged with one count of first-degree murder; pre-trial release was denied and an arraignment was scheduled for January 4, 2024. The Oakbrook Terrace Police Department, DuPage County M.E.R.I.T., the DuPage County Coroner, and the State’s Attorney’s office handled the investigation. If anyone saw or heard anything at the hotel that night or knew Calvin Truitt, please share information that might help.
