We now have more information about the Highland Park Shooter, who is still in custody and

has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder.

21-year-old Robert E. Cremot, the third, was from a nearby town outside Chicago and had

apparently spent weeks planning the attack.

Most interestingly, Cremot was not completely random.

He had a small following online for making amateur music videos under the pseudonym A Week

The Rapper.

His Spotify channel has over 2 million plays, and his videos have featured depictions of

mass murder and the shooter cheering Donald Trump's motorcade.

Not only that, but in 2019, he had a knife collection that was confiscated after making

public threats to quote, kill everyone, if only they had seen the signs.

Despite having this incident on his record, Cremot had two guns at the scene that had been

purchased in 2020 and 2021.

We've also learned that Cremot escaped the scene by dressing in women's clothing, before

being apprehended on Monday evening after someone saw his car and called 911.

Seven people have now died in the Highland Park shooting, with more than 45 others worth

it.
