A 22 year-old rapper has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing six people at a July 4 parade in an affluent Chicago suburb.
Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III was intercepted by cops in North Lake Forest, Chicago, after 7pm local time Monday evening when cops saw the silver Honda Fit he was last seen driving.
Dramatic photographs from the scene show the suspected mass-murderer - who posted creepy clips about shooting massacres online - being pinned to the ground face-down by police.
Cops say Crimo opened fire from a rooftop, into a crowd who at first confused the sound of gunshots with Independence Day fireworks.
A total of 26 victims aged between eight and 85 were injured, with six still receiving hospital treatment. The area has a large Jewish community, although police have yet to share a possible motive for Monday's slaughter.
Crimo is from of the Highland Park area and posted rap videos online using the name Awake. In one song, the suspect wrote: 'My actions will be valiant and my thought is unnecessary, I know what I have to do, I know what's in it, not only for me, but for everyone else.'
The doom-laden words were set to drawings of a figure who looked like Crimo pointing a rifle while a person lies prone on the ground, and another holds their hands up in the air.
At one point, a grab of a newspaper clipping about JFK's murderer Lee Harvey Oswald is visible.
An IMDb page about the suspect describes him as a 'rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and director from Chicago.'
The most viewed video on the rapper's YouTube channel is the music video for his song: 'On My Mind.' The video, showing a the suspect in a classroom.

It was very nice, and I’m sure it resonated with lots of Americans.

Supposedly had a concert with some one or some group named Nodfather back in September 20, 2019.
Skinny little twerp, isn’t he?
I saw just the opposite; the stations I turned to were going on about 4th of July/Independence day as if nothing had happened.
You’re right. Rap took a sh*t on American culture/society and the spoiled/alienated yutes jumped on board.

2020 in Illinois would have put an end to any hopes of achieving small club rap stardom with Covid lockdowns.
I’m going to chalk him up as another kid Fauci snapped that straw and there will be many, many more.
Good thing we all locked down for 2 years to save these poor kids from a disease with a 99.97% survival rate.
Sure he’ll follow the same pattern of Divorced/detatched parents, drug use, alienation, ets, ets, but we can’t quantify the damage we did to these kids with the lockdowns.
Meanwhile Fauci “derr-dee-derr I’m the science”
Did any of his videos show his weapons?
Why not? It's not as if you need any actual talent to be a rapper. Anybody can do it.
Damn. FBI left him with gear…
One of his associates, who according to the shooter’s site shared a concert venue with him in Sept 20, 2019, who has been deleting his online material, says he distanced himself from him, is a rapper named Nodfather. Nodfather is into the occult, disgusting stuff, and the usual sex and drugs scene. Oh, and he is also into “banning assault weapons.”
Wonder whose office that was... city map and nice chair and all. Doesn’t look like a rapper hangout.
Has cutting scars on his arm.
No, but some of his friends of friends are into cosplay fanciful weapons.
