An investigation revealed that the male victim and his brother — identified as 50-year-old Kevin Biron-Bomis — got into an argument earlier in the evening. After driving back to Kevin's home in Gurnee, police say the brothers continued to argue and Kevin punched his brother several times until he stopped breathing.

Kevin was arrested the night of the incident and appeared in bond court on Tuesday. His bond was set at $5 million on a charge of first-degree murder.

An autopsy on the victim is pending.
