Overview
- Police say a pickup truck was used to breach the Louis Vuitton storefront before a crew fled in multiple vehicles, and a Kia Stinger then struck a Honda CR‑V at Michigan and Ohio, killing 40-year-old Mark Arceta of Skokie.
- Seven suspects — Dejuan Wingard, Darius Bowdry, Keller McMillan, Alton Jackson, Harvey Fisher, Anthony Hemphill and Keith Perkins, ages 19 to 37 — are in custody for detention hearings on Saturday.
- Wingard is accused of driving the Kia and faces murder, burglary, theft and reckless homicide, while the others face felony murder and burglary-related charges.
- Investigators recovered stolen merchandise from the crashed Kia and from a second getaway car that wrecked on Lake Shore Drive, where two additional suspects were arrested after fleeing on foot.
- Prosecutors estimate $500,000 to $1 million in goods were taken, though another report citing investigators put the figure near $180,000, and the investigation remains active.
