'No emotion' on face of suspect who drove into parade: Complaint

Darrell Brooks, the man accused of killing six and injuring 62 when his SUV plowed into a Christmas parade on Sunday, appeared to have "no emotion on his face" while doing so, according to a criminal complaint.

At one point an officer “pounded on the [suspect's] driver’s side door yelling ‘stop,’” the criminal complaint said.

But instead, according to the complaint, Brooks kept going, and later he "appeared to rapidly accelerate" and "took an abrupt left turn into the crowd of parade participants."

The SUV "appeared to be intentionally moving side to side, striking multiple people, and bodies and objects were flying," the complaint said.

One witness told police the suspect drove "in a zigzag motion," the complaint said. "It was like the SUV was trying to avoid vehicles, not people. There was no attempt made by the vehicle to stop, much less slow down.”

Another witness told police it appeared to be "a direct intent to hit as many parade participants," the complaint said.


6th person, a child, dies from injuries

A sixth person, a child, has died from injuries from the crash, a prosecutor said at the suspect's first court appearance.


Suspect has outstanding warrant in Nevada

The suspect, Darrell Brooks, is a registered sex offender in Nevada, where he was convicted in 2006 of impregnating a 15-year-old.

As a result of that conviction, Brooks was arrested 10 years later when he failed to obey sex offender laws. He bailed out on the charge but never returned to court, according to police in Sparks, Nevada. A warrant was issued on Aug. 15, 2016 for that failure to appear.

Suspect due in court

Darrell Brooks, the man suspected of plowing his car into the Christmas parade, is set to make his first court appearance at 5 p.m. ET Tuesday.


The initial charges against Brooks, 39, are five counts of first-degree intentional homicide.


Suspect previously arrested for running woman over with SUV, court records show

Darrell Brooks, the suspect accused of driving into a Christmas parade on Sunday, killing five, was arrested earlier this month for using a 2010 maroon Ford Escape to run over the mother of his child, according to court documents.

This appears to be the same vehicle used to plow through the parade.

In early November, a woman told police Brooks had pulled up beside her following an earlier domestic dispute and instructed her to get into his car, the documents said. When she refused, Brooks hit her in the face with a closed fist, according to the criminal complaint.

As she walked away through a gas station parking lot, Brooks “intentionally” ran her over with his car, the complaint said.

Brooks, 39,  is set to make his first court appearance on Tuesday in connection to Sunday's incident. He is charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide, police said.
