Update on the 500 Block of Concord Incident

Within hours of discovering the victims on September 17th, the Romeoville Police Department had developed a person of interest. That person of interest is 31-year-old Nathaniel Huey Jr., of Streamwood. A second person, a female with a relationship to Huey, was also identified as a person of interest. In the evening hours of September 19th, the female person of interest was reported by family as a missing/endangered person out of Streamwood, Illinois and entered into the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System.

Later that same evening, the Romeoville Police Department distributed a Statewide bulletin to law enforcement agencies believing Huey to be a credible suspect in this investigation. This morning, acting on a digital license plate reader alert, the Catoosa, Oklahoma Police Department was alerted to the presence of the suspect vehicle in their jurisdiction. Acting on this alert, local authorities located the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle immediately attempted to elude the officers resulting in a single car crash of the suspect vehicle, causing the vehicle to catch on fire. Officers on scene heard two noises, believed to be gun shots. A female, with a gunshot wound, was located and removed from the passenger side of the vehicle and is listed in critical condition. A male, also with a gunshot wound, was located deceased on the driver side of the vehicle. It is believed to be Huey.

Although Huey is identified as a suspect, this is still an active and evolving investigation. This portion of the incident is still unfolding. We appreciate the public’s cooperation and assistance. This does not conclude the investigation. The Romeoville Police Department is committed to meeting the same burden of proof required in any criminal case.
