Burr Ridge, IL – A Missouri man is being held without bond after allegedly stabbing two people during a Christmas Eve fight inside a Burr Ridge hotel, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Authorities identified the suspect as 41-year-old Luis Villarreal of Missouri. He faces charges including Armed Violence and Aggravated Battery following the December 24 incident at the Extended Stay America on South Frontage Road.
According to prosecutors, Burr Ridge police responded around 7:15 p.m. and found one man unresponsive outside the hotel and another suffering from stab wounds inside. Officers reportedly recovered a knife from Villarreal at the scene.
State’s Attorney Robert Berlin called the attack “shocking” and said such violence “will not be tolerated in DuPage County.” Burr Ridge Police Chief Marc Loftus praised officers for their quick actions and coordination with local departments.
Villarreal’s next court appearance is scheduled for January 20, 2026, before Judge Margaret O’Connell. Prosecutors reminded the public the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
