Overview

• Kellen McMiller, 35, is among seven defendants charged with first-degree murder, burglary and theft in the Sept. 11 Louis Vuitton raid, and he remains hospitalized after the getaway crash.
• Prosecutors say a pickup was rammed into the 919 N. Michigan Ave. storefront and nearly $700,000 in merchandise was taken before a fleeing Kia struck a Honda at Ohio Street, killing 40-year-old Mark Arceta.
• Chicago police and court records indicate McMiller had four outstanding warrants, including from Florida, Indiana and Wisconsin, at the time he appeared in a 'peacekeeper' uniform days earlier.
• Pritzker’s office featured a Sept. 5 photo with McMiller in a press release that was later removed, and the governor’s team said he takes hundreds of photos weekly, expects accountability, and points to reported 41% shooting reductions in Peacekeepers program areas.
• Critics, including a former suburban police chief and the Illinois GOP, are faulting vetting and program oversight as authorities continue the investigation, with roughly $270,000 in stolen goods recovered so far.
