"Evidence has shown us a nexus between our suspect and the victims as well as possible motive," Burne said, not providing further context on a possible motive at this time other than previously telling the press it was "not a random act."

According to reports, Huey Jr. sped away down the I-44 but struck another vehicle and plowed into barriers near the Hard Rock Casino. The car caught on fire as "officers on scene heard two noises believed to be gunshots," Burne said.

He died at the scene while she later succumbed to her injuries in the hospital.

Palomo's family attorney, John Paul Ivec, spoke out on her behalf to ABC Chicago and said she sent concerning texts beforehand plus did not appear to have any involvement with the family in Romeoville. "Police identified her as a person-of-interest. OK, well, she's a victim just like the Romeoville family's a victim."

Huey Jr. was described as "dangerous" by her daughter and reportedly had access to a host of weapons at the private security company he worked for.

"Although Huey is identified as a suspect, this is still an active and evolving investigation," a police statement read. "This portion of the incident is still unfolding."
