Man Denies Killing Libertyville Man Who Dated Woman He Stalked

A 37-year-old Round Lake Beach man has pleaded not guilty to shooting and killing a 30-year-old Libertyville man just days before Christmas last year.

Kenneth S. Seplak entered not guilty pleas to three counts of first-degree murder on Wednesday, the Daily Herald reports. Seplak has been free on bail after he posted 10 percent of his $3 million bail last month.

Seplak, of the 1400 block of North Lake Shore Drive in Round Lake Beach, is accused of shooting and killing David Gorski, 30, of Libertyville. Authorities found Gorski unresponsive in a Volkswagen Jetta at 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 23 after receiving a report of a slumped over driver in the area of Milwaukee Avenue and Hollister Drive in Libertyville.

Gorski was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. He suffered a gunshot wound.

Earlier that night, Gorski went to a movie with a Wauconda woman at AMC Hawthorn 12 in Vernon Hills -- the same woman who Seplak had been accused of stalking at her home, according to the Daily Herald. Prosecutors said GPS records from Seplak’s cell phone shows he was at the same theater at the same time as Gorski and the Wauconda woman prior to the murder.
