Man Convicted In Hinsdale Murder

HINSDALE, IL — A jury found a University Park man guilty in the 2017 killing of a Hinsdale woman after several hours of deliberations Friday, according to an ABC7 Chicago news report.

Dominic Sanders, 32, was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of 51-year-old Andrea Urban, who was killed in her house May 4, 2017. According to authorities, Sanders gained entry into Urban's home about 10 a.m. A physical altercation between Sanders and Urban ensued, resulting in Sanders repeatedly striking Urban in the head and slashing her throat, police say.

Sanders admitted to taking rings from Urban's house, but denied killing her. Police found video of Sanders selling rings at a pawnshop in Melrose Park shortly after the killing.

Police also found blood on Sanders' shoes. "If you ignore all the other evidence... how did Andrea Urban's blood get on his shoe?" DuPage County Assistant State's Attorney Cathy Delmar said, according to the ABC7 report.
