Overview
- On July 14, 2025, a Kendall County court sentenced 28-year-old Alexia Telles to 30 years in prison followed by three years of mandatory supervised release for first-degree murder
- Telles pleaded guilty under a deal that requires her to serve 100% of the sentence and avoids a courtroom trial for the victim’s relatives
- Investigators uncovered through forensic and digital analysis that Telles manipulated the crime scene to disguise the homicide as a suicide
- Annissa Ellen-Williams was found in February 2023 with a catastrophic head injury after an argument with Telles while driving, first responders said
- Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis said the plea agreement guarantees accountability and spares the family the ordeal of a trial
