Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli, a spokesperson for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, said that investigators are not ready to announce charges yet against the shooting suspect.
“The Lake County state’s attorney’s office has been with us from the ground level. They were with us this morning and through the night. We continue to review the information,” Covelli said.
He added that investigators are still developing leads and reviewing “critical information.”
“Once we’re at a point where we’re ready to review all of that information for charges, we’ll sit down with the state’s attorney” to discuss criminal charges, Covelli said.
