Steven J. Kramer

A 39-year-old Warrenville man faces murder charges after authorities say he shot and killed his wife on Thursday.

Steven J. Kramer is being held in the DuPage County Jail, according to online records, and a detention hearing is scheduled for Monday.

Court records identify the dead woman as Jaime Neumann. Authorities said Neumann and Kramer were married. Charging documents say Neumann was shot in the head and chest late Thursday morning.

The shooting occurred at the couple's home in the 30W0-100 block of Mulberry Court. Warrenville police and the DuPage County District Attorney's Office have released few details about the homicide investigation.

A neighbor who asked not to be identified said the couple has three young children. It is unclear whether the children are staying with family members.

A message on Warrenville's official Facebook page simply said that police are “currently investigating an isolated incident that occurred (Thursday) in the Mulberry Court area… as this is an ongoing investigation, we are unable to provide any details at this time.”

The DuPage County Coroner's Office has not released Neumann's manner or cause of death.

According to court records, Kramer has no prior criminal record in DuPage County. He has a traffic violation from 2007 and was cited for speeding by Warrenville police two days before the shooting.
