A new camera phone video shows what appears to be Robert Crimo III being arrested by police following the Highland Park shooting on July 4 that left six dead and more than thirty injured.
Crimo, 22, opened fire from a rooftop perch during a Fourth of July Parade before fleeing the scene. Crimo led police on a brief pursuit before being arrested following an hours-long manhunt. He was then taken into police custody, according to Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen.
A North Chicago police officer had seen the vehicle matching the description of Crimo’s car and attempted to conduct a traffic stop before Crimo took off.
Five of the six victims were adults found dead at the scene. The other died at the hospital from injuries sustained in the shooting.
