A 33-year-old woman was reportedly killed by her husband in their Elgin home last week, just a month before their divorce was scheduled to be finalized, as reported by ABC 7 Chicago.

The victim, named Dreanna Booker, was found around 1 a.m. on December 7 in the 700 block of Bluff City Boulevard, according to police. The suspect, 36-year-old Pierre J. French, was arrested shortly after the incident. Booker’s family stated that French was her husband, and their divorce was set to be finalized on January 1, 2025.

ABC7 spoke with Dreanna Booker’s family on Saturday, who shared that they are leaning on their faith to help them navigate through this difficult time.

“We want justice for my baby,”

the victim’s brother, Thomas Mitchell, said.

“Everything else we’re putting in God’s hands. Lord have mercy.”

Court documents reveal that Booker had filed an emergency order of protection against French in July. The couple’s six children, aged between 1 and 14 years, are now left without either of their parents.

“Her kids meant the world to her,”

the victim’s nephew, Tayvion, said.

“Nobody could take her kids away from her, and we’re gonna forever have her kids everyday.”

French is now facing charges of first-degree murder and is scheduled to appear in court again on Wednesday in Kane County.
