Lewis C. McCracken, 27, of Elgin.

An Elgin man has been charged with attempted murder after two people were shot in Huntley. Police are continuing to search for the suspect, who is also accused in a carjacking.

Lewis C. McCracken, 27, of the 200 block of Villa Street in Elgin, was charged with four counts of attempted murder, aggravated battery and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon.

The Huntley Police Department responded around 4:18 a.m. Monday to the 11800 block of Cape Cod Lane in Huntley for a report of shots fired.

The Huntley Fire Protection District was also sent to the scene after a report of two people shot.

Officers secured the scene and confirmed the offender, later identified as McCracken, had left prior to their arrival, Deputy Police Chief Linda Hooten said.

Officers provided medical aid to two adult male victims who were later transported by ambulance to area hospitals. Their conditions were not known.

A preliminary investigation showed McCracken drove to the house and approached the front door when gunfire ensued, Hooten said.

The Huntley Police Department said Monday afternoon that residents in the Wing Pointe subdivision should review their doorbell and security cameras from the early morning hours for any footage that could assist in the investigation.

It does not appear to be a random incident and “is specific to this location,” Hooten said.

Police located McCracken’s vehicle but the man fled from the scene.

The Huntley Police Department, McHenry County Major Investigative Assistance Team, Elgin Police Department and Bartlett Police Department worked to identify McCracken as the shooting suspect.

Hooten said that McCracken may have been involved in a carjacking in Bartlett around 4 p.m. Monday.

The Bartlett Police Department conducted an active investigation searching for him but they were unable to locate McCracken.

The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office approved the felony charges against McCracken, Huntley police announced late Monday evening.
