Authorities Confirm Shooting Victim in Tolono Is Alleged Gunman’s Brother

 

Police say a quarrel between two brothers on Wednesday in Tolono has left one of them dead.

Champaign County Sheriff Dan Walsh says officers arrested 42-year-old Brian Maggio of Savoy for the shooting death of his 42-year-old brother, Mark. The shooting occurred outside the IGA supermarket. Employees told police that the alleged shooter owned the IGA store, while his brother owned another IGA in Arcola.

The incident shocked residents of the small town, including Monical's Pizza founder Ralph Monical. "They're both usually two mild-mannered kids," said Monical. Champaign County Sheriff's investigators and Tolono Police spent Wednesday at the scene of the shooting. Champaign County Coroner Duane Northrup said the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday. Police declined to discuss a possible motive for the shooting and did not know if the arrested man had an attorney.
