- A license-plate-reader hit captured the white Mazda that fled the scene and police located the vehicle within hours, which led officers to witnesses who identified Argudo-Tenorio.
- Witnesses in the caravan told investigators that Argudo-Tenorio admitted the shooting after returning to the car and prosecutors have recovered a single .45-caliber shell casing from the scene.
- Argudo-Tenorio was arrested at his Oak Park home, charged with first-degree murder, ordered held pending trial, and prosecutors noted prior juvenile adjudications as they prepared their case.
