Robert E. Crimo III taken into custody as a person of interest connected to Highland Park parade shooting!!!
Authorities said Crimo was spotted by a North Chicago officer who attempted to initiate a traffic stop.
Crimo then fled and led officers on a brief pursuit before being stopped in Lake Forest, Illinois.
He was taken into custody without incident and will be taken to the Highland Park police department.
When asked, authorities said they are still calling Crimo a “person of interest” while they investigate and connect him to the scene.

Re: Manhunt underway after deadly Illinois July 4th parade shooting!
- The shooting suspect has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder following the mass shooting at a July Fourth parade in Highland Park, Illinois, on Monday that killed at least seven people and injured dozens.
- Police say the suspect used a "high-powered rifle" in the shooting and may have planned the attack "for several weeks." Authoritiesinteracted with the suspect twice in 2019, and in one case, multiple knives were removed from his home.
- Witnesses described frantically fleeing when they realized they heard gunshots, not fireworks. Highland Park is located about 25 miles north of Chicago.
