Escalera wielding a chainsaw while entering River Glen of St. Charles, a senior living facility, on Dec. 1st, 2024. The first officer to arrive on the scene encountered Escalera, who was near multiple residents, inside at the doorway to the facility's cafeteria. the officer displayed his Taser and demanded that Escalera drop the chainsaw. Instead, Escalera entered the cafeteria and started the chainsaw. The officer then deployed his Taser, striking Escalera in the chest. The Taser briefly knocked Escalera down he got back up, grabbed the chainsaw, and ran toward the officer. The officer ran into the lobby, and he and a second officer returned to the cafeteria. A third officer followed Escalera through a secondary doorway of the cafeteria and eventually back into the lobby. That's where Escalera held the chainsaw over his head and charged toward an officer. The officer fired two shots, which missed Escalera. Escalera then collided with the officer, striking him with the chainsaw and dropping it. The officer fired a third shot as Escalera fled toward a hallway, hitting him in the arm. Once he reached the hallway, Escalera stopped to the right of an elderly resident in a wheelchair, turned toward the officers, and held his hands forward in a position which appeared to imitate holding a gun. The officer fired a fourth shot, striking Escalera in the chest. Escalera immediately collapsed to the floor. Officers handcuffed him before providing medical treatment. Paramedics arrived and transported Escalera to Delnor Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Kane County Coroner's Office said Escalera, who died from the gunshot wounds he suffered, also had methamphetamine intoxication. Toxicology reports showed amphetamines, methamphetamines, and olanzapine in Escalera's system. Escalera was from west central Indiana, and police never determined a connection between him and the home. He did have a lengthy criminal history.
