A 21 -year -old man allegedly fired on the July 4 parade on the rich suburbs of Chicago while disguised in women’s clothes was charged with seven charges of first -class murder on Tuesday, the prosecutor said.Robert Crimo, 21, was arrested on Monday, a few hours after the attack on the crowd of lively independence days.
“There will be more accusations,” Lake County’s state lawyer Eric Rinehart told reporters. “We anticipate dozens of more accusations that are centered around each victim.”Christopher Covelli’s police spokesman said the death toll rose to seven on Tuesday after one of the injured victims died in the hospital. More than 35 people were injured.
Among the dead is Kevin McCarthy, 37 and his wife, Irina, 35 parents from a two-year-old boy who was found roaming alone after the shooting, according to CBS News.Covelli said there was no motive set for the attack, which made the panic viewers who panicked to their lives.”We believe Crimo has planned this attack for several weeks,” and that he acted alone, he said.
“We do not have information to be recommended at this point that it is motivated racially, motivated by religion or other protected status,” he added.He said Crimo had a history of mental health problems and threatening behavior.The police have been called twice to Crimo’s house in 2019, once to investigate suicide efforts, and the second time because a relative said he threatened to “kill everyone” in the family, he said.
The police issued 16 knives, daggers and swords from home but did not make arrests, he said. Covelli said Crimo used a fire escape to access the roof of a building facing the parade route and fired more than 70 rounds of rifles “similar to AR-15,” one of several weapons that have been bought legally.
“Crimo wore women’s clothes and investigators believed he did this to hide his face tattoos and his identity and help him during his escape with other people who fled from chaos,” he said.Covelli said Crimo went to his mother’s house nearby after the shooting and borrowing his car. He was arrested about eight hours later after a short pursuit.
He also said the authorities were investigating the annoying posts and online videos made by Crimo.The shooting has shocked the upper class. “We are all still staggered,” Mayor Nancy Roteering told NBC’s Today Show. “Everyone knows someone who is influenced by this directly.”The Mayor said he personally knew the armed man when he was a child in Cub Scouts.”How does someone become anger, this hatred and then take it to innocent people who are truly only experiencing family day?” Turn asking.
Crimo, whose father failed to run for the mayor and has a shop in Highland Park named Bob’s Pantry and Deli, is an amateur musician who collects himself as “Build Rapper.”Younger Crimo online post including violent content that offends weapons and shootings.One YouTube video posted eight months ago featured the cartoon of an armed man and the people who were shot. Voice-over said, “I just need to do it.”It added: “This is my destiny. Everything has caused this. Nothing can stop me, even myself.”
