Posted • December 3, 2024: Man Who Was Let Out Of Prison Just Days Before Goes Into Car Dealership With A Knife And Stabs Multiple People, Cops Are Forced To Shoot Him — Police have revealed new bodycam footage showing the moments leading up to the shooting of a stabbing suspect. The shooting happened just before 2 p.m. on Oct. 23 at a Toyota car dealership in the 1800 block of Sycamore Road. Charles M. Tripicchio, 32, was shot by police after he allegedly attacked multiple people with a knife. He was charged with multiple felonies, including Armed Violence, Attempted Armed Robbery, Aggravated Battery, Criminal Damage to Property and three counts of Aggravated Assault.

Officials said a man who was inside the business produced a knife and started attacking people. At least one car dealership employee received minor injuries from the attack and was treated at the scene, police told ABC7. Tripicchio was shot by police after he approached officers and refused to put down the knife, police said. He was flown to a hospital in Rockford, and he was later reported to be in good condition. Earlier this month, Tripicchio had been released from jail after being held in custody for domestic violence charges in a separate incident, police said.
