A suspect in this week’s fatal shooting of a 15-year-old Round Lake Beach girl in her home has been arrested and a gun recovered, police said Friday morning.
The suspect is an adult who lives a couple of blocks from where Valeria Rodriguez was shot Wednesday night, said Chris Covelli, spokesman for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force.
The suspect was taken into custody following a police search of his home early Friday morning, Covelli said.
Charges are pending.
