Police say armed suspects who carjacked a mother and her son at gunpoint in Waukegan before leading officers on a high-speed chase committed a “horrific crime” with “no regard for human life.”

Elijah Monette, 20, of Zion, was charged with two counts of aggravated vehicular hijacking, possession of a machine gun, possession of a stolen vehicle, five counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and resisting a peace officer causing injury.
