• 0:20
  attack in Oswego has been found unfit to stand trial.
• 0:24
  Kendall County Judge Jody Gleeson on Tuesday made the decision
• 0:29
  after reading a doctor's evaluation of Darryl Lee Junior, twenty,
• 0:33
  who is charged with killing a man using a hammer
• 0:36
  and knife and injuring another person October twenty second at
• 0:40
  the Chick fil A restaurant in Oswego. He has pleaded
• 0:43
  not guilty to the charges. Lee has been remanded to
• 0:47
  the Illinois Department of Human Resources for mental health treatment.
• 0:51
  He faces eleven felony counts, including first degree murder, concealment
• 0:56
  of a homicidal death, and armed robberyvictim in the fatal
• 1:00
  attack has been identified as Tracy jay Land, fifty two,
• 1:04
  of bridge View. Land was making a delivery to the
• 1:08
  restaurant at two hundred and seven forty Route thirty four
• 1:11
  when about three ten am, Lee allegedly broke into the restaurant.
• 1:16
  And attacked him with a hammer and a knife. Oswego
• 1:19
  Police said at about five am, Oswego police were called
• 1:24
  to the restaurant for a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival,
• 1:27
  officers found the alleged defender, later identified by police as Lee,
• 1:32
  being restrained by two contracted maintenance workers. Officers immediately took
• 1:36
  Lee into custody and began providing medical aid to one
• 1:39
  of the workers who had been injured. Police said the
• 1:43
  injured twenty year old man was taken to an area hospital.
• 1:46
  Based on statements allegedly made by Lee, officers conducted a
• 1:50
  protective sweep of the restaurant and discovered Land's body inside.
• 1:54
  He was pronounced dead at the scene. Lee will be
• 1:57
  committed to the Illinois Department of Human Services in an
• 1:59
  inpaid secure facility. Kendall County State's Attorney Eric Weiss said
• 2:03
  after the hearing, the doctor did the evaluation believes he
• 2:07
  can be restored to fitness within a year, which is
• 2:09
  the standard in the state of Illinois for fitness, Weiss said,
• 2:14
  and once he is found to be fit, he'll be
• 2:16
  returned here back in Kendall County and the proceedings will
• 2:19
  continue on. He believes the judge made the right decision
• 2:24
  in declaring that Lee is unfit to stand trial at
• 2:27
  this time. The finding of fitness does not impact at
• 2:31
  all the defendant's guilt or innocence in a trial, Weiss said.
• 2:36
  Weise said he believes that Lee understands the charges against him,
• 2:40
  but that he is not able to assist in his
• 2:42
  own defense. That's usually where the issue comes up when
• 2:46
  you have a mental illness without treatment or medications, he said.
• 2:50
  So they'll give him some treatment as well as medications,
• 2:53
  which will allow him then to assist his attorneys in
• 2:56
  his own defense. Lee will remain in custody in the
• 2:59
  Kendall Canty Jail until the Illinois Department of Human Services
• 3:02
  has a bed available. That's sort of the problem in
• 3:06
  Illinois right now, there's not enough beds available for inpatient treatment,
• 3:09
  he said. So he will stay in the Kendall County
• 3:11
  Jail until a bed becomes available, and then he'll be
• 3:14
  transferred to a lock secure facility, which is basically a
• 3:17
  correctional institution for mental illness, and then brought back here.
• 3:22
  The goal is to get him into a facility in
• 3:25
  the next thirty days. Wife said, Lee has been assigned
• 3:29
  a public defender. A treatment plan for Lee is expected
• 3:32
  to be presented at the next hearing on the case,
• 3:35
  which is set for February ninth. Police said that after
• 3:38
  allegedly killing Land, Lee remained in the restaurant and tried
• 3:42
  to clean up the crime scene. The maintenance workers were
• 3:44
  outside the restaurant unaware that Lee was inside and had
• 3:47
  allegedly killed Land. Police said Lee exited the restaurant at
• 3:52
  about forty to fifty five am and allegedly attacked the
• 3:55
  twenty year old man from behind by stabbing him with
• 3:58
  a knife. Police said despite his injuries, the man was
• 4:01
  able to subdue his attacker with the assistance of his mother,
• 4:04
  who also was on site working with him. Police said
• 4:08
  Oswego Village officials in November honored the mother and son
• 4:11
  for their efforts at the scene. At the November fourth
• 4:15
  Oswego Village Board meeting, village President Ryan Kaufman read a
• 4:19
  proclamation commending the efforts of Sergia Urbi Junior and Anna
