Newly released body camera footage shows the moment a man accused of killing an Illinois family – including two young children and three dogs – died alongside his fiancee in an apparent murder-suicide.
Nathaniel Huey Jr., 31, and his fiancee, Ermalinda Palomo, 50, died in a train crash after a police chase in Oklahoma on Sept. 20, according to body camera footage obtained by ABC 7 Chicago.
Video from the Catoosa Police Department, near Tusla, shows the wreckage following a brief chase that occurred after officers received a notification from a digital plate reader that the vehicle was wanted in connection with a murder suspect.
Officers shouted for the couple to get out of the car as it burst into flames after it hit the freeway median, and police heard two gunshots, according to the recording.
The video shows an officer leaning over a barricade, banging a baton on the driver’s window to break it as flames engulfed the car’s hood.

Palomo was pulled from the car with gunshot wounds and taken to a hospital, where he died. His family insisted to ABC 7 Chicago that he had nothing to do with the Romeoville murders.
Huey was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene, just three days after the quadruple murder.
The two were named as persons of interest in the deaths of Alberto Rolon, 38, Zoraida Bartolomei, 32, and their two children, 10-year-old Adriel and 7-year-old Diego, who were found dead during a welfare check on September 9. 17.

The family and their pets were all shot to death, police said.
Authorities have not released a motive for the killing, and Romeoville police say there is still an active investigation underway.
The family had moved to Romeoville just four months before their tragic deaths. Their children are students at RC Hill Primary School.
“These are hardworking people who have just bought their first home. Their children are the most innocent angels who can hold your worries,” the GoFundMe page says.
“In just a few hours of their lives, their family’s life changed completely. The world would be a dimmer place without them.”
