Police have arrested 39-year-old Darrell Edward Brooks Jr. as a suspect after a red SUV plowed through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, leaving multiple people dead and dozens injured.
By late Sunday evening, there were five confirmed casualties and more than 40 injured. The death toll may rise as many of the injuries are reportedly severe. At least 12 of those injured were children.
Brooks has a lengthy criminal record, including for sex trafficking a minor. He was released on bail just two days before the "mass casualty incident." Waukesha massacre suspect Darrell Edward Brooks was released from Milwaukee County jail on $1,000 bail earlier this week.

Brooks has previously been charged with domestic abuse multiple times, as well as battery, resisting or obstructing an officer, disorderly conduct and more.
The suspect also made a music video in which he raps in front of a red Ford Escape, which matches the one that drove through the Christmas celebration.
