UPDATE: Police say they're still piecing together Crimo’s alleged motive but the 21-year-old “had some type of affinity toward ‘4’ and ‘7’ and [the] inverse of ‘7,’ ‘4'
Highland Park Fourth of July paradeAfter a bond hearing on Wednesday, Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli told reporters that Crimo decided against carrying out the second massacre at a July 4 celebration in Madison, Wisconsin, because he “hadn’t put enough thought or research into” the other celebration.
Appearing in court via Zoom and wearing a black shirt, Crimo remained completely still during Wednesday’s hearing as prosecutors described how the deadly attack unfolded, including the steps that he took to conceal his identity. Authorities say that, after the Highland Park attack, Crimo went to his mother’s house and borrowed her car. He then drove to Madison, Wisconsin, where he allegedly saw another celebration underway and “seriously contemplated” using his leftover 60 rounds, Covelli said, adding that Crimo then dumped his cellphone in Middleton, Wisconsin.
