Jury Convicts Dru K. Jarvis in 2020 Elgin Road-Rage Murder

Sentencing on Dec. 3 follows investigators linking him to the attack through a prior weapons conviction.

Overview

  • A Kane County jury on Oct. 27 found Jarvis guilty of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and armed violence.
  • Prosecutors said the shooting followed a lane-merge dispute and horn honk, with Jarvis riding as a passenger who opened fire near Kimball Street on Route 31.
  • Francisco Trujillo-Uscanga, 41, was struck in the torso and died shortly after at AMITA Health St. Joseph Hospital.
  • The Mini Cooper’s driver, a coworker driving him home from Huntley, was shot multiple times in the legs and survived.
  • Authorities said they tied Jarvis to the case after his arrest a week later in another Elgin shooting and a 2021 aggravated-discharge conviction, and he now faces a minimum of 96 years with firearm enhancements described by prosecutors.
