A suspect was taken into custody after two people, including a teen boy, were killed in a domestic incident on Thursday night in west suburban Geneva, authorities said.

At around 8 p.m., officers with the Geneva Police Department responded to a fatal domestic violence call in the 2700 block of Emma's Way in the Emma's Landing subdivision, according to Geneva police. Responding officers found two victims, who later died after being taken to area hospitals.

One of the individuals killed was a 13-year-old boy, who was pronounced dead at Loyola University Medical Center, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

A male suspect was taken into custody at the scene and detained pending a pre-trial court hearing, authorities said. The Kane County State's Attorney's Office authorized four counts of first-degree murder against the man, who had yet to be identified Friday evening.

The State's Attorney's Office intends to file a petition to deny the suspect pretrial release, police said.

Specifics regarding the incident weren't immediately released by Geneva police.
