Police say three suspects who were armed with guns robbed the clerk of a gas station convenience store in Woodstock before some were later arrested in Wisconsin.

The Woodstock Police Department responded around 1:30 a.m. Sunday to the Circle K, 155 South Eastwood Drive in Woodstock, for a report of an armed robbery.

Woodstock Police Chief John Lieb said three armed, masked subjects entered the store.

A fourth subject remained in the driver’s seat of their getaway vehicle.

The three suspects displayed firearms, which Lieb said it is unknown if they were real or fake, and demanded cash from the sole clerk in the store.

They exited with cash and store products. The suspects then fled northbound in the vehicle they arrived in.

A search for the vehicle in Woodstock was unsuccessful and the police department’s investigations division responded to the scene.

Neighboring police agencies were also provided with a description of the vehicle but it was not located the night of the incident, Lieb said.

Two days later on Tuesday, the vehicle was located crashed in West Allis, Wisconsin, and three subjects were arrested.

The fourth subject in the car was able to elude law enforcement.

Lieb said the subjects arrested were all juvenile males.

They were eventually released to their parents by West Allis, Wisconsin officers.

The West Allis Police Department was not aware of the armed robbery in Woodstock when they released the subjects, Lieb said.

Charges will be sought against the suspects once the investigation is completed.

‘Your children, by your hand, lost their mother:’ Judge sentences Deerfield man to 65 years in prison for killing wife

Posted: 14 Jul 2022 01:33 PM PDT

Gary A. Kamen, 59, of Deerfield.

A Deerfield man was sentenced Thursday to 65 years in prison for the murder of his wife after he held her hostage and stabbed her in their Deerfield home in 2018.

Gary A. Kamen, 59, of the 1000 block of Peachtree Lane in Deerfield, was initially charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

He was later charged with five counts of murder, two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault with a weapon and two counts of aggravated armed kidnapping.

Police were called to Kamen’s Deerfield home in the 1000 block of Peachtree Lane around 3:40 p.m. on September 21, 2018, for a domestic dispute call.

Officers found Gary Kamen’s wife, Karyn Kamen, 53, significantly injured from multiple stab wounds, police said.

Paramedics transported the woman to an area hospital where she was in critical condition and died the following day.

Prosecutors said that Kamen admitted to investigators that he held his wife hostage for several hours in their home and stabbed her.

Court records show he also allegedly sexually assaulted the woman.

The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office called the case “brutal and heinous.”

Lake County Major Crime Task Force Spokesman Christopher Covelli said at the time that Kamen was taken into custody and placed under special watch after “making statements.”

A judge ordered him held in the Lake County Jail on a $10 million bond.

Assistant state's attorneys Lauren Kalcheim Rothenberg and Scott Hoffert later argued Kamen was a threat to the family and a judge then ordered him held without bond.

Kamen on June 1 entered into a negotiated plea deal with the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office.

He pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder in exchange for the rest of his charges being dismissed, court records show.

After the plea, defense attorney James Schwarzbach asked the court to have Kamen undergo a mental health evaluation as part of the pre-sentence investigation.

Prior to Thursday’s sentencing hearing, prosecutors and Schwarzbach reached an agreement that Kamen would be sentenced to 65 years in prison.

Lake County Judge Daniel Shanes accepted the order and sentenced Kamen to the 65-year term, which will be served at 100%.

Kamen faced a minimum of 20 years in prison with a potential life sentence.

Shanes told Kamen Thursday that he found the sentence to be appropriate in light of the “cold-blooded nature” of the crime.

“In days like this, in court, there are no winners. Everyone loses. Your children, by your hand, lost their mother, and you lost,” Shanes said.

“The sentence in this case accounts for the heinous nature of the crime. The community remained safe from Mr. Kamen while he remained in custody for nearly four years, and we know the family has some relief that this part of their journey is finally over,” Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said.

Round Lake Beach father pleads not guilty in murders of his three young kids

A father pleaded not guilty Thursday to multiple charges alleging that he killed his three children — ages 2, 3 and 5 — by drowning them in a bathtub last month in Round Lake Beach.

Jason E. Karels, 35, of the 200 block of East Camden Lane in Round Lake Beach, was initially charged with three counts of first-degree murder.

A grand jury later indicted him on a total of nine first-degree murder charges.

The multiple counts are for Karels’ “intent to kill,” “knowing the acts will cause death or great bodily harm,” and “creating a strong probability of death of great bodily harm,” according to the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Karels appeared in court Thursday morning for an arraignment hearing. He entered not guilty pleas for all counts.

Round Lake Beach Police Chief Gilbert Rivera said during a press conference last month that officers responded to Karels’ residence in the 200 block of East Camden Lane in Round Lake Beach around 1:40 p.m. on June 13 for a well-being check.

Debbie Karels went to the residence to pick up her children, who were with Jason Karels for the weekend.

Rivera said the mother went into the home and found her three children dead in a bedroom.

The children were identified as Gideon Karels, age 2; Cassidy Karels, age 3; and Bryant Karels, age 5.

Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Jeffrey Facklam said during a court hearing that police found a note in the house that said, “If I can’t have them neither can you,” referring to the children.

Karels was still married to his wife but they were separated, police said.

After Karels’ arrest, he made statements admitting to killing his three children.

He later gave a detailed statement to investigators about how he drowned each child “one by one” in a bathtub, Facklam said.

Lake County Chief Deputy Coroner Steve Newton said preliminary autopsies on Gideon, Cassidy and Bryant confirmed they died from drowning.

The Round Lake Beach police issued an alert to area police departments across the Chicago area following the triple murder.

Illinois State Police spotted Karels’ red 2010 Nissan Maxima and attempted a traffic stop on him.

Karels refused to stop and led officers on a 17-minute high-speed pursuit where he crashed into a heavily wooded area on Interstate 80 near Water Street in Joliet.

Karels had to be extricated from the vehicle by firefighters.

Officers wearing bodycams captured Karels admitting to killing his three kids.

Rivera said that Karels had attempted suicide multiple times leading up to his arrest, including at the crime scene at his residence where investigators found a “significant amount” of blood that did not belong to his kids.

Karels was hospitalized and later transported to the Lake County Jail.

Lake County Judge Theodore Potkonjak initially ordered Karels held on a $10 million bond and then later ordered him held without bond.

Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart previously said this is a “devastating case for our community, and we are resolved to achieve justice for these three innocent children.”

After the arraignment hearing Thursday, Rinehart said his office was placing significant resources into preparing for trial.

Rinehart also said his office has had extensive meetings with the family to “let them know our office supports them and will be with them throughout the process.”

One person was found dead inside a home in Fox Lake after a fire engulfed the residence, prompting the response of over two dozen fire departments Thursday morning.

The Spring Grove Fire Protection District responded around 2:46 a.m. Thursday to the area of Main Street and Wilmot Road in Spring Grove for a report of a structure fire.

The fire district said crews found a fully engulfed house fire in the 900 block of Main Street.

Because the house was located on the north side of the street, it turned out to be located in Fox Lake, not Spring Grove.

The Mutual Aid Box Alarm System was activated to the third alarm level due to a lack of hydrants in the area, the fire district said.

The upgraded alarm level prompted the response of over two dozen fire departments, including some Wisconsin departments.

Flames had engulfed the single-family residence and left much of it destroyed.

After the fire was extinguished, fire crews discovered a person deceased inside the rubble, McHenry County Coroner Dr. Michael Rein told Lake and McHenry County Scanner.

Fox Lake Police Chief Jimmy Lee said that the victim is a male who was in his late 60s.

The man was found near a sliding door and appeared to have been trying to exit the residence, Lee said.

No one else was inside the residence at the time of the fire.

The Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal was called to the scene to assist the Fox Lake Fire Protection District and Fox Lake Police Department in the investigation.

An autopsy has been scheduled on the victim for Friday. No further details were available regarding if the death was believed to be suspicious or not.

Illinois fire departments that assisted at the scene were Richmond, McHenry, Wonder Lake, Grayslake, Woodstock, Lake Zurich, Gurnee, Antioch, Nunda-Rural, Fox River Grove, Cary, Lake Villa, Barrington-Countryside, Round Lake, Wauconda, Winthrop Harbor, Newport, Crystal Lake, Woodstock, and Lincolnshire-Riverwoods.

Wisconsin fire departments that assisted at the scene were Twin Lakes, Randall, Salem Lakes, Bloomfield, Wheatland, Linn, Bristol and Lake Geneva.

The incident remains under investigation by the McHenry County Coroner’s Office, Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal, Fox Lake Fire Protection District and Fox Lake Police Department.

Hundreds of community members gathered and held a vigil in Highland Park Wednesday evening to remember the seven people who were killed in the Fourth of July parade shooting.

The community gathered at 7 p.m. Wednesday outside the Highland Park City Hall, 1707 Saint Johns Avenue.

The Highland Park Strings and Chicago Pipe & Drums performed before Rabbi Ike Serotta from Makom Solel Lakeside, Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering, Reverend Quincy Worthington from the Highland Park Presbyterian Church and Carlos Sims from the Ravinia Festival Jazz Scholar Program gave remarks.

“While I am so proud of our community for coming together, I wish it were not because of a tragic act of gun violence,” Rotering said, addressing the large crowd of people.

Rotering called the mass shooting the “bloodiest day we have ever experienced in Highland Park.”

She called Robert E. Crimo III, the alleged gunman, a “hateful and cowardly individual.”

“Seven individuals were senselessly murdered, dozens more were injured, and countless numbers of our children and community members have been traumatized,” Rotering said.

“Tonight, we mourn for those who were murdered, we mourn for their families, we mourn for their friends, we mourn for their neighbors, and we mourn for our community.”

Officials identified the victims as Katherine Goldstein, 64, of Highland Park; Irina McCarthy, 35, of Highland Park; Kevin McCarthy, 37, of Highland Park; Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63, of Highland Park; Stephen Straus, 88, of Highland Park; Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78, of Morelos, Mexico; and Eduardo Uvaldo, 69, of Waukegan.

“They were brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, grandparents, cousins, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and so much more,” Rotering said.

A moment of silence was held for the seven victims who died in the shooting.

Rotering called everyone survivors, saying, “The trauma of gun violence doesn't end when the shooting stops.”

“Experiencing gun violence in our community has a lasting impact on us – we are the survivors.”

“As we face the ugly truth of what happened here, we are reminded of the fragility and vulnerability of life. It forces us to put things in perspective, challenges us to expand our understanding of how things work, and connects us with one another in profound ways,” Rotering said.

“We will keep those murdered in our hearts and in our minds as we work to resolve that this evil attack will not define who we are, nor will it define how we treat each other. We will recognize our common humanity as we live our lives. We acknowledge that the intensity of our grief and suffering represents the depth of our love we hold for our neighbors and our hometown.”

“We will listen to each other's story and understand that in each and every story there is love, loss, and a need for hope. We will care for each other and provide strength when it is needed most. And with time, this will carry us through.”

“This is who we are – we are Highland Park and we are strong together,” Rotering added.

U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider, whose district includes Lake County, held a moment of silence for the victims on the House of Representatives floor at the capitol Wednesday evening.

“There are no words to describe the heartbreak of our community. The grief, but also the anger,” Schneider said.

“These beautiful people were the center of the universe for their families, and pillars of strength for their communities.  They were loving parents and grandparents, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters. They had personal passions and diverse interests…and all loved life. Each one had a special spark that will still burn bright within the people who knew and loved them.”

“Today we unite and stand with Highland Park as they mourn. Tomorrow I pray that we can unite in this body to stand up and work together to bring this awful violence to an end,” Schneider added.

‘Becoming more brazen’: Police warn residents of suspects entering homes in Antioch

Police are warning residents in Antioch after approximately a dozen burglaries were reported, including some of which involved suspects trying to enter homes, which officials called "brazen."

The Village of Antioch said they encourage residents once again to lock their homes and vehicles to help combat crime.

Police warn the latest instance of the burglaries involves an offender or offenders entering a home through an unlocked door.

Antioch Police Chief Geoff Guttschow says these crimes are becoming more concerning.

"This is an example of perpetrators of these crimes becoming more brazen," Guttschow said.

"It also underscores the importance of residents making sure doors of homes and cars are locked at night," he said.

Almost all victims of these "crimes of opportunity" had left doors to their homes or cars unlocked, allowing for easy access by criminals, Village of Antioch Communication Specialist Jim Moran said.

Moran said a total of 12 burglaries were reported to have occurred overnight between 3 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. in the Woods of Antioch and Antioch Manor subdivisions.

"If there is a good thing to come of this, it is that every time we remind residents to make sure they lock up at night, we seem to see a decrease in the number of victims," Guttschow said.

The Antioch Police Department is renewing its push of the "9 p.m. routine" on social media.

The 9 p.m. routine has been adopted on social media by law enforcement agencies across North America.

The initiative offers a daily reminder for residents to remove valuables from their car, such as keys, wallets, cash, garage door openers, firearms and tablets.

Officials also said people should make sure vehicle and home doors and windows are shut and locked.

Police encourage residents who witness suspicious activity to call the Antioch Police Department dispatch at 847-270-9111 or 911 in the case of an emergency.

Anyone with any additional information related to the recent crimes, including those who may have security camera video or anyone who may have been the victim of an unreported crime, should call the Antioch Police dispatch center at 847-270-9111 or email crime@antioch.il.gov.

Man accused of abducting teen girl and her baby from Harvard extradited back to McHenry County

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 03:15 PM PDT

Michael A. Walton, 22, of Linton, Indiana.

An Indiana man charged with abducting a 16-year-old girl and her baby and bringing them to Kentucky has been extradited back to McHenry County, records show.

Michael A. Walton, 22, of the 800 block of Roosevelt Street in Linton, Indiana, was charged with one count of child abduction, a Class 4 felony.

The Harvard Police Department responded around 9 p.m. on June 22 to the 200 block of West Roosevelt Street in Harvard.

Harvard Police Chief Tyson Bauman said at the time that a 16-year-old girl and her 5-month-old son had gone missing.

It was reported to police that the two juveniles, who are Harvard residents, were last seen at the Harvard Diggins Library earlier that day.

Police started an intensive investigation involving numerous law enforcement entities, including federal and Indiana agencies, Bauman said.

According to an endangered missing person advisory, the juveniles were believed to have been with Walton in a black 2008 Buick Lucerne.

They were reportedly spotted in Jeffersontown, Kentucky early in the morning on June 23, the alert said.

The 16-year-old girl and her infant were located when they, along with Walton, turned themselves in to the Cynthiana, Kentucky Police Department on June 24.

Walton has been held in custody in Kentucky awaiting extradition to McHenry County.

He was extradited to the McHenry County Jail by the Bourbon County, Kentucky Sheriff’s Department Tuesday afternoon.

Walton remains held in the McHenry County Jail on a $20,000 bond.

He would need to post $2,000 cash to be released. A court hearing is scheduled for Friday.

Chicago man gets 18 years in prison for sexually abusing juvenile girl inside car at Algonquin park

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 01:47 PM PDT

Rafael Brill, 26, of Chicago.

A Chicago man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for traveling to Algonquin where he sexually abused a 15-year-old girl at a park and created child pornography.

Rafael Brill, 26, of the 7200 block of North Damen Avenue in Chicago, was charged with five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, traveling to meet a minor, indecent solicitation and grooming.

The Algonquin Police Department said they received an anonymous call around 10:45 a.m. on May 26, 2021, for a public indecency incident at Holder Park, 1040 Timberwood Lane in Algonquin.

Algonquin Deputy Police Chief Dennis Walker said at the time that officers arrived and located a 15-year-old girl who was walking away from the park.

Officers also observed a man inside a white Honda Civic and they stopped the two to investigate.

Officers learned that the man, identified as Brill, had arranged through an online app to meet with the girl at the park, Walker said.

Brill was arrested at the scene and prosecutors approved the seven charges against him.

Almost three months later, prosecutors filed 17 charges of child pornography, ranging from Class X to Class 2 felonies, against Brill.

On Tuesday, Brill entered into a negotiated plea deal with the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of child pornography, a Class X felony, and one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a Class 2 felony.

McHenry County Judge Michael Coppedge approved the plea deal and sentenced Brill to 18 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections, court records show.

Brill must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and also faces a lifetime period of parole.

McHenry County State’s Attorney Patrick Kenneally said that sexual abuse cases, especially those involving minors, are a priority in his office.

“We charge more cases and take on more difficult cases than any other office in Illinois because we know the lacerating and life-long trauma sexual abuse can have on a child. These are very difficult cases. Mostly there is a delay in reporting leading to lost forensic evidence,” Kenneally said.

“Usually there are no eyewitnesses. Very often our case is based on the account of a child victim who sometimes due to terror of having to face their abusers or age may not be ready to testify in court in front of 12 strangers or endure cross-examination,” he said.

“In view of these difficulties, often we have the agonizing decision to accept negotiated pleas to ensure that a defendant receives some accountability as opposed to none. I am glad we were able to succeed in securing such a strong verdict in this case,” Kenneally added.
