Officials reported they viewed a video that Brack posted on social media that showed him and another suspect attacking the victim and brandishing weapons. The suspects also stole the victim’s belongings, court records show.

Police later searched a home in the 1800 block of Oregon Avenue and took Brack into custody on June 12.

Officers found a loaded handgun with no serial number, which Brack later admitted was his during an interview.

Brack is charged with two counts of possession of a firearm without a FOID, aggravated battery while using a deadly weapon, armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated unlawful possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a firearm without a serial number.
