Aurora Man Charged in Fatal Kane County Hit-and-Run

The case centers on prosecutors' allegation that he concealed a damaged 1994 Chevy before investigators linked the vehicle to the July crash.

Overview

  • Investigators responded to a crash on U.S. Route 20 near Big Timber and Gast roads that left a bicyclist dead on July 6, according to local officials.
  • The Kane County Coroner identified the victim as 27-year-old Ebony Calvillo and an autopsy found multiple injuries consistent with being struck by a car.
  • Prosecutors say their probe traced the collision to a 1994 Chevy pickup and that the accused driver temporarily stored the damaged truck and arranged a tow to his home.
  • On August 11 the Kane County State's Attorney's Office announced the arrest of 61-year-old Marcos Moreno of Aurora and charged him with felony counts for failure to report a crash resulting in death, leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death, and obstructing justice.
  • Moreno was scheduled for a pretrial detention hearing to decide custody while the case moves toward trial, and the charges carry felony-level penalties if he is convicted.
