Suspect arrested in Ill. triple killing

DARIEN, Ill., March 3 (UPI) -- A suspect was arrested Wednesday in the fatal shooting of a couple and their 20-year-old son in a suburban Chicago home, authorities said.

Jacob B. Nodarse, 23, was arrested after he was found asleep in a vehicle outside his parents' home near Fort Myers, Fla., Deputy U.S. Marshal Rick Jessup said. Police called Nodarse a prime suspect in the slaying Tuesday of Jeffrey R. Kramer, 50 -- the owner of a towing and auto repair company in Cicero -- his wife, Lori Kramer, 48, and their son Michael J. Kramer, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The victims were killed as the couple's daughter, Angela, 25, hid in a closet and called 911, police said.

The house in the Tara Hill subdivision, west of Chicago, appeared to have been targeted, Deputy Police Chief John Cooper said.

"It wasn't a random thing," Cooper said.

Another son of the Kramers escaped through a basement window and a woman who was visiting escaped unharmed, police said.

Nodarse was being held in a Florida jail on an obstruction of police charge filed in Illinois, the Tribune said.
