Trial Date Set for Highland Park Parade Shooter

The trial of Robert Crimo III, accused of a deadly shooting at a 2022 Fourth of July parade, is scheduled for February 2025.

A Lake County judge has scheduled Robert Crimo III's trial for February 24, 2025, facing charges for the Highland Park parade shooting.
Crimo briefly represented himself before reinstating his public defenders, leading to a delay in the trial date.
Prosecutors and defense had initially agreed on the 2025 date, despite a brief period where Crimo sought an earlier trial.
Crimo faces charges including 21 counts of first-degree murder and 48 counts of attempted murder for the 2022 incident.
The next status hearing for Crimo is set for April 24, as both sides prepare for the 2025 trial.
