The accused Highland Park gunman was bizarrely obsessed with the numbers 4 and 7, which are the date of his massacre when transposed, police said Wednesday.
Robert E. “Bobby” Crimo III, 21, had the numbers painted on his silver Acura and even tattooed on his face, showing he clearly “had an affinity” for the figures, Lake County County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli told reporters.
The suspect — whose alleged rampage at a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb Monday left seven innocent people dead and dozens more injured — also reportedly used the name “Awake47” for an online forum where he and others regularly posted images of the aftermath of violence.
Crimo’s obsession “apparently comes from music that he’s interested in,” Covelli said.
