A man admitted guilt to murder on Monday in connection with a shooting that occurred during a 2022 Independence Day parade in a suburb of Chicago, resulting in the deaths of seven individuals, according to local reports.

Robert Crimo III made the guilty plea just before his trial was set to commence for the attack in Highland Park, which also left over 40 people injured, as reported by the Chicago Tribune.

The judge has scheduled Crimo’s sentencing for April 23. According to legal guidelines, he will face a life sentence in prison, the newspaper indicated.

Crimo is alleged to have ascended to the roof of a building in downtown Highland Park, situated 25 miles north of Chicago, where he fired upon both spectators and participants of the parade.

The victims included a synagogue teacher, a Mexican grandfather, and the parents of a two-year-old child.
