A 26-year-old man has been sentenced to 95 years in prison for murdering two Elgin men in a staged drug deal near Wing Park four years ago.
Travaris D. Stevenson, of Chicago, and an accomplice arranged to meet the two victims, Raymond Dyson, 29, and Mark McDaniel, 26, to sell them a pound of marijuana on April 29, 2018, according to the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Elgin police caught the two suspects a half-mile from the crime scene about 20 minutes later, according to the report. Stevenson was on parole when the photos were taken and prohibited from possessing firearms, the release said. Judge David P. Kliment sentenced Stevenson to 35 years in prison for the first-degree murder and added 25 years because Stevenson personally fired the gun, 20 years for the armed violence and 15 years for the second-degree murder, the release said. The terms are to be served consecutively.
