Glendale Heights man charged with murder in Hanover Park shooting
Richard L. Goodwin, 55, of the 1200 block of Raleigh Court, is accused of shooting 59-year-old Marek Krywko in a femoral artery around 7:45 p.m. in Krywko's home in the 5500 block of Pebblebeach Drive, DuPage County Assistant State's Attorney Louisa Nuckolls said at a court hearing Tuesday.
Goodwin is also charged with aggravated battery for shooting a 50-year-old woman in the leg, authorities said.
Nuckolls told Judge Ann Celine O'Hallaren Walsh that Goodwin had gone to the home, along with his wife and another woman, to buy marijuana from Krywko.
The female victim told police Goodwin asked for a bottle of water. She gave him one, but he then shot her, authorities said. She ran toward the front door and heard another shot.
The female victim and an another man who lived in the house said Goodwin and the two women drove off in a black SUV.
Tollway I-PASS records showed a black SUV failing to pay a toll at eastbound I-390 at Lake Street. A records search by police showed the vehicle was registered to Goodwin. Police then found a photo of Goodwin on social media wearing a hat similar to one the victims said he was wearing.
Cellphone records showed Goodwin and his wife near Krywko's home around the time of the shooting. The records also indicate his wife had multiple texts and calls with Krywko.
Nuckolls said Goodwin's wife told police she had bought the marijuana and left the kitchen, when she heard a gunshot.
Nuckolls said police found bloodstained men's clothing in the trunk of Goodwin's SUV.
Bail has been set at $500,000. Goodwin would need to post the full amount to be released while the case is pending. If he does post bail, he would have to wear an electronic monitor and be confined to his house, except for work.
According to Nuckolls, Goodwin was sentenced to six years in prison for attempted murder in a 1990 case, plus 12 years for two attempted robberies that year. He also spent 19 years in a federal prison on a weapons charge, accused of transferring a semi-automatic handgun from New Jersey to Illinois, she said. He was paroled on the federal charge in March 2020.
