In the days since the Mass shooting Monday at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, disturbing details about the alleged killer, Robert Crimo III, and his past continue to come out.
Perhaps the most disturbing detail yet was revealed on Wednesday.
The New York Post reported Crimo had painted a mural on the back of his mother’s house that featured a smiley-face figure brandishing a rifle.
The discovery of what the outlet described as an “eerie” and “chilling” image came as the suspect’s mother, Denise Pesina, was walking outside her home in Highland Park on Wednesday, the report said.
“It wasn’t immediately clear when Crimo painted the mural,” the Post said.
Speaking with the outlet, the alleged shooter’s father, Robert Crimo Jr., claimed there was nothing to the image.
According to him, his son was merely “expressing his art” and it “didn’t really mean anything.”
