A suspect faces charges of first-degree murder after two people were found dead inside a Highland Park apartment Wednesday morning.
Officers responded to a wellness check at 1850 Green Bay Road and found blood under the door before forcing entry into the apartment, Highland Park police said.
Two people inside were pronounced dead, police said. Authorities have not released their names and causes of death.
Barry Goldberg, 45, was identified as a person-of-interest in the case, and later Wednesday he was officially charged with two counts of first-degree murder, according to the Lake County State's Attorney's Office.
Goldberg is set to apppear at a bond hearing on Thursday in connection with the case.
There was no threat to the public, police said. City officials will work with the on-site property manager of the complex to provide support to tenants who live in the building.
