Law enforcement officials in Waukesha, Wisconsin, said the suspect involved in a hit-and-run in the Christmas parade, which took place this Sunday (21), is Darrell E. Brooks.
Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson said authorities believe the 39-year-old man acted alone.
Thompson added that Brooks was involved in a domestic disturbance shortly before driving his SUV during the Sunday afternoon parade. The suspect faces five counts of murder with more possible counts, the local police chief said.
“Right now, the Waukesha Police Department is filing five counts of first-degree murder, with additional charges based on the investigation,” Thompson said at a news conference on Monday (22).
