Murder suspect from Chicago in custody after daylong manhunt in Lake Barrington

Lake County authorities have apprehended a Chicago murder suspect who eluded capture in the Lake Barrington area for most of the day and eventually barricaded himself in an industrial building.

A spokesman for the Lake County sheriff’s office said 38-year-old Osceola Little is wanted in connection with a murder in Chicago and led police on a chase that ended earlier Tuesday near Route 14 and Pepper Road in Lake Barrington.

Law enforcement officers eventually cornered Little in an industrial building Tuesday evening. Little eventually surrendered without incident, authorities said.

Barrington Area Unit District 220 informed families Tuesday that schools were placed on a lockdown due to police activity.

The district said it put the schools in “secure the building and teach” mode when there is a police situation outside the buildings.

“Access to these buildings is also prohibited at this time,” the message said. “All students and staff are safe and class is continuing as normal.”

The lockdown did not disrupt dismissal of students at the end of the school day.
