Trial date set for Libertyville slaying suspect

An April 1 trial date has been set for a Round Lake Beach man accused of killing a Libertyville man he saw as a romantic rival.

Kenneth S. Seplak, 38, faces three counts of first-degree murder stemming from the slaying of David E. Gorski on Dec. 23, 2016. Gorski, 30, was found shot to death behind the wheel of his car on Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville after he attend a movie with a Wauconda woman who Seplak previously had been accused of stalking.

Prosecutors say the woman and Gorski had recently started dating, but traveled to the movie theater in Vernon Hills that night in separate cars.

Seplak, of the 1400 block of North Lake Shore Drive, is free on $300,000 bond, but remains on 24-hour curfew, must wear a GPS monitoring device at all times, cannot have guns or ammunition, and is not allowed to have any contact with Gorski's family. He is due back in court March 4 for a hearing on pretrial motions.
