After almost eight hours, a North Chicago police officer observed Crimo and briefly followed him to Lake Forest. And, soon before 7 p.m. local time Monday, “the suspect was taken into custody without incident,” according to Chief of Police Lou Jogmen.
A “substantial quantity of digital evidence,” according to Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesperson Christopher Covelli, led detectives to Crimo.
Authorities said the shooter fired into the crowd from a rooftop and that they seized a weapon from the site. They first avoided labeling Crimo a suspect, instead referring to him as a “person of interest.”
Monday evening, police enforcement vehicles encircled a two-story residence identified as Crimo’s address. Several police cars and at least one armored vehicle were stationed outside, and journalists were barred from entering the area.
