CHICAGO - A Kane County judge has found an East Dundee man guilty in the shooting death of a 27-year-old man last year. 

Devon C. Coleman, 18, faces up to 60 years in prison for the June 2020 murder of Jordan Durr of Carpentersville, the Kane County state’s attorney’s office said in a statement. Coleman waived his right to a jury trial.
