4 Arrested After Double Shooting

At 9:15 P.M. Friday October 22nd, Tazewell County police responded to a call originating from a home on American Legion Road, outside of Mackinaw. At the scene, officers found 2 gunshot victims - Rebecca Bolin (age 51) was dead on the scene while her husband, Douglas Bolin (age 52) was Life Flighted to OSF Medical Center in Peoria in critical condition. 3 teenagers were taken into custody by Saturday, October 23rd, and are all charged with First Degree Murder with Intent along with one count of Attempted First Degree Murder: Sage Raeuber (19), Nathaniel Maloney (18), and Andre Street (17).

On Monday October 25th, multiple news outlets confirmed that Douglas Brolin was released from the hospital. On the same day, a 4th person – a juvenile female – was arrested on charges of First Degree Murder with Intent. 

After interviewing Raeuber and Street, investigators allege that Raeuber drove Maloney and Street to the location of the home, where 2 exited the vehicle with firearms provided by an unnamed source, and were seen in the home after gunshots were heard. Investigators also believe that a deal was entered into with the unnamed juvenile female involving an unspecified amount of money to carry out the killings. Police have refused to confirm or deny the suspicion that the juvenile female is the daughter of Rebecca and Douglas Bolin.

After appearing in court on Tuesday October 26th, bail has been set at $2 Million for Street and Maloney, and $1.5 million for Raeuber. All 4 suspects are due back in court at the Tazewell County Courthouse on November 10th at 2 P.M.

The Mail will keep up to date with this case as it unfolds.
