Six people are dead and dozens are injured in a shooting in a Chicago suburb, and social media pages appear to belong to a person of interest in the case.

The account had not posted in around eight months before it was pulled. There were depictions of people being shot and classrooms in the most recent video. There is a music video for a rap song that ends with a man in protective gear handling bullets in a classroom.

As of this writing, both of the albums and singles posted to Apple Music under the rap name of "Crimmo" remained online. There are posts on social media suggesting that a TikTok account may have been taken down as well.

The Verge reached out to all of the platforms. There have been no responses as of press time.

After the mass shooting in Buffalo, New York in May, it was found that the shooting suspect had talked about attacking a private Discord server. He broadcasted his attack on twitch. The US Supreme Court ruled that it should be harder for states to place restrictions on guns.
