Fox News
Suspect Ray Tate, who is charged with killing an Illinois sheriff’s deputy, is now facing more charges in connection to a multi-state crime spree he allegedly carried out in the hours following the officer’s death.
Riley had responded to a motorist assist call on Interstate 64 around 5 a.m. near the Illinois-Indiana border. Another deputy who arrived at the same scene shortly after found Riley shot dead and his squad car missing, authorities said at the time. The police car was later found abandoned on the freeway.
Tate later carjacked a semi-truck driver between southern Illinois and St. Peters, Mo., St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney Tim Lohmar said, according to the station. Tate allegedly escorted the truck driver into a gas station at gunpoint, but the driver was able to get away.
