AURORA | A suspect is in custody in connection with a brutal beating last week that left a man on life support.
Police have not released the suspect’s name, but said Wednesday he was arrested in connection with the Aug. 14 beating of Ricky Thompson near East Quincy Avenue and Buckley Road.
Thompson was seriously injured in the beating, police said, and is not expected to survive.
