A man from Harvey, Illinois, is facing charges after a shooting broke out at a suburban car festival over the weekend, police announced on Tuesday.
Willie White, 36, is facing felony charges of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm in connection with a shooting at Scoop Waukegan on Saturday, police said.
The festival, that features live music, food and hundreds of vintage and custom vehicles from as early as the 1920s, closed two hours early after the shooting, authorities said.
Police said the shooting broke out after White and the victim got into a fight while attending the festival. No other people were involved.
Waukegan police investigators took White into custody alongside Zion police around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, authorities said. A firearm was located by authorities at the time of his arrest.
Authorities said the incident was isolated and contained immediately by on-site first responders already stationed at the festival, who also provided medical attention and “ensured the safety of festival attendees.”
“I am deeply saddened that an event intended to bring families together, support our local businesses, and celebrate the spirit of our community was impacted by an act of violence,” 4th Ward Alderman Victor Felix said in a social media post. “Violence has no place in our community. We will continue working alongside our residents, community leaders, and public safety officials to strengthen security and preserve the spaces where our families can gather and enjoy themselves in peace.”
