Nathaniel Huey Jr., 31, of Streamwood, Illinois, was identified as a “credible” person of interest in the recent Romeoville quadruple homicide that claimed the lives of Alberto Rolon, 38, Zoraida Bartolomei, 32, and their two boys, ages 7 and 9, as well as their 3 family dogs.
According to news reports, police in Catoosa, Oklahoma used a license plate reader to spot a vehicle linked to Huey in their jurisdiction. When officers attempted to stop the car, it sped away. The chase resulted “in a single-car crash of the suspect vehicle, causing
the vehicle to catch on fire,” according to Romeoville Deputy Chief Chris Burne, at a news conference Wednesday.
Once on the scene, officers heard two gunshots and the female occupant of the vehicle stumbled out of the car, critically wounded, while the male driver, identified as Mr. Huey, was pronounced deceased at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Deputy Chief Burne further stated that evidence collected by investigators reflected “a nexus” between Huey and the victims, as well as a possible motive.
State business license records reflect that Huey owned a private security company called Black Bear Security, LLC. The business was involuntarily dissolved by the Illinois Secretary of State earlier this month, CBS 2 has reported.
At the press conference Wednesday, Deputy Chief Burne said that police do not believe there are any other suspects in the case.
The investigation, led by Romeoville police with assistance from the Will County Major Crimes Task Force, remains ongoing.
