Robert Crimo III

Robert Crimo III is a 24-year-old man from suburban Chicago who has gained national attention as the accused perpetrator of a mass shooting during the 2022 Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois. He faces multiple charges, including 21 counts of first-degree murder, after allegedly opening fire on parade-goers from a rooftop, resulting in seven fatalities and numerous injuries. In a recent court appearance, Crimo agreed to change his plea to guilty on all charges, which eliminates the possibility of a trial.
