The Elgin Police Department has announced the arrest of 36-year-old Pierre J. French on two counts of First-Degree Murder.

The Kane County State’s Attorney alleges that French stabbed Dreanna D. Booker multiple times with a knife causing her death on or around December 7, 2024.

Authorities allege that French intended to kill the victim and knew his actions led to a strong probability of her death. EPD officers responded to the 700 block of Bluff City Boulevard for a reported stabbing around 1 a.m. on December 7.

At the scene, officers found the victim deceased with multiple stab wounds to the body. Authorities say Pierre French was taken into custody without incident a short time later.

French is being housed in the Kane County Jail. His next court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. on December 18.
